Europe's leading economies appear to be heading back into recession, the OECD warned in its Interim Economic Assessment of G-7 nations, September 2012. The OECD anticipated contraction of the German economy and possible recession by the end of 2012. Euro-zone countries must act quickly to prevent a worsening downward spiral, the OECD said.
