It speaks of pessimism among the most talented professionals in finance:
"In Germany — the region’s largest economy — CFA Institute members predict local growth of just 1.2% for 2015. Respondents in other European markets are similarly pessimistic, with local growth predictions of 1.0% in the Netherlands, 0.9% in Switzerland, and just 0.5% in France, the Eurozone’s second-largest economy.
