George Osborne has said the failure of the Spanish bank bailout is "depressing" as the banks had to be directly recapitalised into to convince the markets of its credibility. Spain's borrowing costs have hit the highest level for 13 years.
In a statement from the European Central Bank regarding the eurozone crisis, the bank states there needs to be ''concerted and comprehensive action" to halt the "downward spiral" with "pernicious interplay".
George Osborne brands the Spanish bail-out as 'depressing' as the Government began paying more to borrow money than ever before.
Andreas Dombret, a board member of the Bundesbank, explains in a rare interview Germany's tough stance over euro crisis solutions.
With 18 of Spain's banks downgraded and the country's cost of borrowing rising, it begs the question: did the bail out happen at all?
