27 分钟It is a treacherous time for the euro area.
Inflation is falling, which is a relief.
But at the same time, signs of real economic weakness are growing.
And the number of risks on the horizon from problems with sovereign debt to trade wars,
is only growing.
This week we are going to ask whether the Eurozone is in trouble.
This is the Economics show with Samaya Keynes.
I'm joined here in London by my colleague Olaf Storbeck,
Frankfurt Bureau Chief and ECB correspondent.
Olaf.
Hi.
Hello.
And also by Philip Lane, chief Economist at the ECB and also member of its Executive Board.
Philip.
Hello.

Goldilocks, best economy ever.
