Euro Gains as EU & ECB Supports Currency
The comments of Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel about commitment of the European Union members to support the euro helped the currency to rise today.
Merkel said that Germany is ready to support the European currency and voiced her opinion that there is no problem with the euro itself, but rather with some EU members:
We don’t have a euro problem in Europe. We have more of a debt problem. Financial markets doubt whether some EU states can manage their debt in the
long-term .
President of the European Central Bank
