THE incoming head of the Eurogroup of finance ministers, Holland's Jeroen Dijsselbloem, says markets now "trust" that the eurozone has put the debt crisis behind it.
The 46-year-old, set to succeed Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker despite only taking on his country's finance brief in November, spoke on arrival at the European Union's Brussels headquarters on Monday ahead of a scheduled vote to confirm his succession.
Heavily touted by Germany as a representative of the currency area's best-run, Triple A-rated economies, Dijsselbloem said he would present, at the request of a sceptical France, his vision of the Eurogroup's agenda this year.
Following discussion among the ministers of the 17 countries which share the euro, "we will hopefully come to a consensus on that and start tomorrow," he told reporters.
With tensions eased markedly on markets compared to six months ago when worries were rife about a Greek exit from the euro or Spain and Italy being forced into bailouts, the Dutchman said his job was all about "further restoring trust in the euro and the eurozone - that's the main task in hand.
"There seems to be a new basis of trust," he said, freeing politicians to focus on policies that can help foster "growth and jobs" with Europe currently labouring under a high unemployment rate of almost 12 per cent across the eurozone.
But Dijsselbloem refused to talk about the actual agenda, such as a bailout for Cyprus first requested in the summer but now seen as increasingly in jeopardy.
"I won't go into Cyprus," he said. "That will be discussed today and next month."
