EU leaders agree to unite on economic recovery

Europe is bracing for the kind of economic damage that has not been seen for more than 50 years.

The full extent of the damage the coronavirus pandemic has caused the European Union economies will not be revealed for months.

But EU leaders are preparing for an economic slump, the likes of which has not been seen since World War II.

The European Commission has suggested a $325bn recovery fund for its forthcoming budget as well as borrowing another $350bn from capital markets.
