The euro dropped as a leadership vacuum in Greece prompted European officials to weigh prospects for the currency union’s first-ever departure of a member state.
The common currency slid after Greece’s biggest anti-bailout party defied overtures to join the government. The euro also weakened after euro-area industrial production unexpectedly declined in March.
Alexis Tsipras, who heads Greece’s anti-bailout Syriza party, won’t attend a meeting called by President Karolos Papoulias today, the Athens-based party said in a statement. Syriza rejected a unity government last week following inconclusive elections on May 6. Greece may face another vote unless leaders can agree on a new coalition.
The European Union’s statistics office said industrial production in the region contracted in March. Output slipped 0.3% from February, when it advanced 0.8%. Economists forecast a gain of 0.4%.
