New measures could be on the way from the European Central Bank to help economies in the Eurozone.
The bank's president, Jean-Claude Trichet, has promised that the ECB will be doing everything in its power to boost investor confidence.
Speaking in Tokyo today, he said non-standard measures aimed at tackling the global financial crisis will be unveiled on May 7, after a meeting of the ECB's governing council.
Mr Trichet called on all public authorities and banks to do what they can to restore economic and business confidence and said that all responses to changes in the economy must be measured.
