Ahead of this weekend's elections in Germany, we take the temperature of its economy. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Victoria Craig has been travelling around Germany, speaking with businesses to find out what they want from the new government. We hear from the founder of Sono Motors, Jona Christians, and Dr Peter Weigmann of Wafios, which manufactures metal-bending machines, discusses concerns about possible tax rises. And as Chancellor Angela Merkel prepares to step down, we get a sense of her economic legacy from Stefanie Bolzen of Die Welt. Plus, China has declared all cryptocurrency transactions illegal. We find out what's behind the move from Glen Goodman, author of The Crypto Trader.
