Celebrations marking the introduction of the Euro have turned to concern as the value of Europe's single currency continues to drop against the US Dollar. The Euro is currently appraised below 86 cents to the Dollar, and is also performing poorly against the Japanese Yen, the British Pound, and the Swiss Franc. The IFO index, Germany's key economic indicator, has benefited little from the introduction of the Euro, posting a rate of 86.3 points. Since the introduction of the European single currency Euro, the dollar has emerged as the clear winner, reinforced by statements made by US Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan, who believes that a recovery in the global economy will be anticipated and spearheaded by America.
