EU leader’s statement on stability of financial system

06 October 2008

The European Heads of State and Government declare that each of them will take whatever measures are necessary to ensure the stability of the financial system.

The 27 European Heads of State and Government released a common statement on the stability of the financial system and declare that each of them will take whatever measures are necessary to ensure the stability of the financial system, whether by injecting liquidity from central banks, by measures targeted at certain banks or by enhanced measures to protect deposits.

 

No depositor in the banks of our countries has suffered losses and we will continue to take the necessary measures to protect the system and depositors, the declaration states. In taking these measures, European leaders acknowledge the need for close coordination and cooperation.

 

The President of the European Commission associates himself with this statement.
