Description
Rumours that Athens was quitting the single currency has lead to a fall in the value of the Euro.
Finance Ministers from the Eurozone's biggest economies have been holding talks on Greece's debt crisis.
Greece's sovereign debt stands at $470bn. That is more than a year-and-a-half of its entire economic output.
