The failing Euro sparks "questions"

Jean-Claude Trichet, the president of the European Central Bank, has said that he believes the European economy is suffering its worst crisis since the second World War.

The failing Euro has surprised many analysts who thought the currency would rise in value after Greece received a $146bn bailout from the European Union and IMF to help solve its economic problems that were triggering the downfall of other Eurozone economies.

An economist told Al Jazeera that markets may be questioning the entire nature of the bailout, losing consumer confidence in the Euro.
