To boost the struggling banks of euro zone the European Central Bank (ECB) announced that it will inject two new revival reforms in the economy by providing ultra-cheap 1-year funding to banks and buying back 'covered bonds' of 40 billion euros ($54 billion) in coming year.

Right after the announcement, the euro rose against the dollar and major other currencies.
