BBC World Service - World Business Report, Fed Will End Quantitative Easing

The Fed will start to reduce its $4.2 trillion balance sheet from October.

The Federal Reserve has called time on its programme of quantitative easing and will start to reduce its $4.2trn balance sheet from October. We hear from the American economist Chris Lowe at FTN Financial in New York and the BBC's Andrew Walker.
Tata and ThyssenKrupp have agreed a steel merger. The tie-up will lead to job losses, to be shared between the two companies. We get analysis from steel industry expert Jonathan Aylen of Manchester Business School. We continue our series examining the health of the German economy ahead of Sunday's election, with a report from Munich. The OECD's chief economist, Catherine Mann, tells us that as more women enter the global workforce, it may be depressing pay levels.
