We ask whether Britain's finance minister has a recipe for economic revival. Our regular economic commentator Roger Bootle offers his assessment, plus we have reaction to the day's announcements from a Welsh manufacturer, and Mike Cherry from the Federation of Small Businesses. Also in the programme, as the US Federal Reserve wraps up its March policy meeting, Chris Low from FTN Financial tells us what the Fed's latest statement actually means. On the day that a merger of the London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Boerse is announced, the 大象传媒's Ramzan Karmali explains the history of the LSE. And we hear about Chile's ambitions to become a world leader in stargazing.
