German Chancellor Angela
Merkel on Monday said there are many ways to foster growth in
the euro zone "without additional money".
Speaking at a joint press conference with French Premier
Manuel Valls in Berlin, the chancellor cited cutting bureaucracy
and the digital agenda among key investment strategies to boost
recovery.
Last month, Merkel delivered a sharp rebuke to France - as
well as Italy - for allegedly hindering the euro zone's recovery
by breaking longstanding fiscal rules.
She said a stagnant economy was the result of the single
currency zone's inability to keep in check countries that ran
high deficits against limits set by Brussels.
