ATHENS (Reuters) - The European Central Bank's President called on Tuesday for euro-area-wide fiscal stimulus aimed at boosting investment, saying the latest steps in this direction are insufficient.
"The most effective response, however, would be an investment-led stimulus at the euro area level," Mario Draghi said in Athens.
"The agreement on the Budgetary Instrument for Convergence and Competitiveness is a step in the right direction, but it does not yet meet the necessary criteria in terms of size or design."
