The euro came under further pressure during foreign exchange trading this morning (February 16th) after EU finance ministers urged Greece to push through new fiscal control measures to prop up its economy. After a much anticipated meeting of finance ministers, Luxembourg’s prime minister Jean-Claude Juncker, who chaired the discussion, said that Greece would be given 30 days to introduce new controls to resolve its burgeoning debt crisis. However, he reiterated an earlier pledge that the EU would provide support for Greece if the markets threatened to rack the Greek economy.
