K's coalition government is preparing a "massive" increase in state-backed investment in housing and infrastructure projects in a bid to stimulate the country's economy, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said in an interview with the Financial Times newspaper published Wednesday.The coalition's "absolute priority" was to use its balance sheet to inject credit into the economy, Clegg told the FT. His comments come a day after International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde recommended an immediate cut in interest rates and an additional burst of quantitative easing to stimulate economic growth.On the continuing crisis in the euro zone, Clegg said it would be "of absolutely no benefit to anyone to see Greece tumble out of the euro," adding that it could set off a chain reaction that could inflict a "direct hit on Britain of potentially massive proportions," the newspaper said.Full story: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/7ab1d982-a42c-11e1-84b1-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1vfp10Jx...European shares traded lower on Tuesday with concerns growing about Greece's political future as the country's parties struggle to form a new government.Greece's mai...
