Ukraine economy 'could shrink by 8%'

The latest business and finance news from around the world, on the 大象传媒.

The World Bank says the economic damage wrought in Ukraine over the crisis in the east of the country could be much worse than previously thought. We hear from Olena Bilan, a Ukrainian economist at Dragon Capital in Kiev. Also does big business pay enough tax? It's a question we put to American economist Irwin Stelzer, as large American companies like Apple and Burger King face increased scrutiny over their activities overseas. Also the 大象传媒's Rahul Tandon reports on how commercial sponsorship is increasingly a part of religious festivals in India. And finally we pay tribute to a wonderful colleague, Mark Whittaker, who has died at the age of 57.
