Two small buckets represented programs that would suffer little, or even not at all, from the financial situation.

...Germany's Federal Statistical Office reported that Europe's largest economy had shrunk by half a percentage point in the third quarter, following a 0.4% decline the previous period.

In September the Celtic Tiger, the best performing economy in the euro zone by some stretch in recent years, became the bloc's first to officially slide into recession. After expanding at three times the E.U. average between 1996 and 2007, Ireland's economy is expected to shrink by 0.75% next year, according to government predictions...
