Continental Europe: a mixed bag
Article Abstract:
Share prices in Germany have been affected by the high value of the German mark, which has affected companies that export. This has led to a drop in share prices from Sep 1995, though a gain of 5% since Jan 1995 benefits UK investors with a 15% rise due to the strength of the mark. French shares have risen little, but again UK investors benefit from the strength of the French franc in relation to pound sterling. Switzerland has seen both a strong rise in share prices and foreign investors benefit from the strength of the Swiss franc.
