Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:50:01 +0100 (Reuters) - A man takes photographs of a container ship at a port in Tokyo January 25, 2012. Japan first annual trade deficit in more than 30 years calls into question how much longer the country can rely on exports to help finance a huge public debt without having to turn to fickle foreign investors. The aftermath of the March earthquake raised fuel import costs while slowing global growth and the yen's strength hit exports, data released on Wednesday showed, swinging the 2011 trade balance into deficit.

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:10:02 +0100 (Reuters) - A docker drives a container straddle carrier in the port of Antwerp while a man works on the dockside January 9, 2012. The stunning, narrow 16th century Gothic houses in the centre of Antwerp are dwarfed by the nearby modern port, which stretches to the size of 22,000 soccer pitches. But what was shaping up as a record-breaking year for Belgium's second city turned sour. The euro zone debt crisis smashed into the continent's economy and the country's debt-reducing austerity programme is doing nothing for immediate growth. Picture taken January 9, 2012.
