No deal to boost Europe bailout fund: report (by Wallace Witkowski)
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Reports that Germany and France have agreed to raise the European Financial Stability Facility to 2 trillion euros are "totally wrong," Dow Jones Newswires reported late Tuesday, citing an official familiar with the negotiations. Debate on the size of the bailout fund continues and will likely last into the weekend, the source told Dow Jones. Earlier, The Guardian had reported an agreement to increase the size of the 440 billion euro fund had been reached.
