Jeroen Dijsselbloem, appointed new head of the Eurogroup
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, Dutch Finance Minister, has been confirmed as the new president of the Eurogroup. As a peculiar note, German finance minister Mr. Schauble said Spain did not support the appointment of Dijsselbloem for head of the Eurogroup. The Eurogroup press conference started with the outgoing Eurogroup president Jean-Claude Juncker, saying that the EU agreed with the IMF that fiscal consolidation should be continued in differentiated manner.
With regards to Cyprus, Juncker noted that the Eurozone finance ministers had delayed a €17bn bailout until March this year, amid concerns of the sizeable rescue package. Juncker had a special mention for Spain too, expressing please that the banking program remains on track. While for Ireland, Juncker said that “Ireland is a living example that adjustment programs work” Meanwhile, after reports that Greece may need an additional €9.2 Bln, the bloc’s finance ministers reportedly support the disbursement in further support for Greece. Eurogroup ‘noted with satisfaction’ the progress on the Greek rescue program. When the floor was given to Oliver Rehn, European Union Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner, he said the eurogroup has taken stock of progress on direct bank recapitalisation. He cited some ‘complex technical issues’ remain on direct recaps.-FXstreet.com

Downwards scenario: Further market decline may encounter supportive measure at 88.88 (S1).
