Euro rises against the dollar on Greek austerity plan

The euro has risen against the dollar as Greece unveiled a new series of austerity measures to cuts its debt.

The euro rose 0.6% to $1.3698, but was slightly lower against the pound at 90.70 pence. On Tuesday, the currency fell to its lowest level against the dollar for 10 months amid continuing concerns over Greece's debt crisis. Persistent worries over Greece's 300bn euro ($419bn; £259bn) debt have weighed on the European single currency.
