EUROPEAN Union (EU) finance ministers have agreed on a 540-billion-euro (S$835.3 billion) package of measures to combat the economic fallout of the global coronavirus pandemic. Read more at The Business Times.

"Today, we agreed on three safety nets and a plan for the recovery to ensure we grow together and not apart once the crisis is behind us," Mario Centeno, the Portuguese finance minister who runs the so-called eurogroup meetings, told reporters.

All of it needs approval by government leaders as early as next week, and tensions persist.
