TORONTO, ONTARIO and CHICAGO, ILLINOIS and LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Jan. 19, 2012) - The European economy has experienced its most turbulent period in recent memory. Last year's debt crisis sparked uncertainty across global markets. Now the eurozone is facing more challenges following the mass debt downgrades by Standard & Poors of France, Italy, Spain and six other European countries.
