Bundesbank chief: Eurozone crisis could last 10 years

Germany's central bank chief Jens Weidmann has said the eurozone crisis may take ten years to overcome, just as top euro officials claimed their response to the crisis is working.

A member of the European Central Bank, Weidmann did not exclude a further interest rate cut "in response to new information."
