Monti Says Euro Area Sovereign Debt Crisis Is Almost Over

By Andy Sharp - 2012-03-28T02:33:34Z

Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti said the euro area crisis is “almost over” and that his nation has helped to stop a worsening of the situation.

Greece must step up efforts to tighten its budget and overhaul the nation’s economy to prevent a second bailout from collapsing, European officials said yesterday.
