In the last 24 hours they have had to step in to save the Franco-Belgian bank Dexia, on the verge of collapsing due to its ties to Greece's debt.

The Belgian Prime Minister says the government could nationalise the bank if they have to, as already Dexia has lost almost 40 per cent of its share value.
