The ECB (European Central Bank) is in a big trouble, first the euro is at it`s lowest point since the introduction in january 1 2002, if we compares with the dollar ( 1 euro = 1,02 dollar at this moment) they need to make like the Federal Reserve in the US higher interest rate to control the inflation, but the problem is they can`t do it because the southern european economies like Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain (which they called us the PIGS) we have economies more vulnerable than northern europe and we need a euro cheaper because that help us at this moment with a lot of tourism we have,  but the rest wants to have higher interest because their economies a tougher and can´t wait to increase the interest... Tomorrow they have a meeting to analyze what to do
