2. Cutaway of reporters and cameras
3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund:
"The need for recapitalisation, as I told you the IMF has insisted a lot for months on this, is now I think well understood on both sides of the Atlantic. Cooperation is less evident but for interest rates. So, I urge European countries to work together. There is no domestic solution to a crisis like this one. I know, having myself served as a Minister of Finance of my country, how difficult it is in the European Union to make consensus and to make decisions. I do not underestimate the problems. Nevertheless, cooperation and coordination in actions is the price of success. All kinds of cooperation have to be commended. All lonely acts have to be avoided, if not condemned and that is IMF message for this morning, number one."
4. Cutaway Strauss-Kahn
5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund:
"As you know, our view is that growth will be close to zero next year in advanced economies and about 3 percent in the global economy. So we are on the cusp of a global recession."
6. Cutaway reporters
7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund:
"The severe downturn in the world economy is obvious for everybody, I think. But I want to say is that, even if we see year 2009 around zero for advanced economies and 3 percent, as I just said, for the global economy, we see the beginning of the recovery in the second part of 2009. So, it is a message of hope, and that is probably the message no. 2 of the IMF today that the crisis is serious, the crisis is protracted; but nevertheless, we see that the end of 2009 will be the beginning of the recovery, slow recovery. It will not go fast, but growth will come back, in our view at this time."

Food, fuel and finance, threatening not just to knock the poorest people down, but the whole down. The events of September could be a tipping point for many developing countries; a drop in exports will trigger a fall off investments, deteriorating financial conditions, combined with monetary tightening will trigger business failures and possibly bank emergencies."

"We are very happy in Slovakia because we believe that Europe will be a big success for Slovakia. Of course we are also happy because we are going to introduce the euro at a time of deep economic crisis and Europe can be very helpful for us. At the same time the euro will attract investors to Slovakia, the euro will stabilise Slovakia as a whole, so we all are persuaded in Slovakia that it will not only be the success of Slovakia as well as the citizens of my beautiful country. Thank you very much."

14. Close up of official's wallet
15. Various of official and parliamentary receptionist
STORYLINE:
To the sound of midnight fireworks Slovakia joined the eurozone, putting it under the shared currency's protective umbrella amid a world financial downturn - and underscoring the former Soviet bloc nation's economic progress.
The small alpine nation on Thursday became the 16th country to adopt the euro, a European Union project which also celebrated its 10th birthday this New Year's Day.
With Slovakia, the currency will be used by 330 (m) million people with an annual gross domestic product of more than 5.6 (t) trillion US dollars.
Joining up is a milestone for the country of 5.4 (m) million people in a region where others have seen their currencies buffeted by the financial crisis stemming from bank losses on securities backed by shaky US mortgages.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was among the first Slovaks to slip the new bills into his wallet, pulling five crisp 20 euro notes out of an automated teller machine set up at Slovak parliament.
Fico welcomed the euro as some citizens in EU member states Denmark and Sweden are rethinking their countries' refusal to sign up.
Neighbouring EU member Hungary, once the beacon of economic success in the post-communist Eastern Europe, was forced earlier this year to accept a bailout from the International Monetary Fund to avert economic collapse, as
has non-EU member Ukraine.
Iceland, neither an EU nor a euro member, suffered badly as an outsider, being hit with a combination of a plunging currency and the popularity of high-interest foreign currency loans.
That means monthly loan repayments for cars and homes have doubled this year, jolting Icelanders as the economy teeters and jobs are slashed.
Slovakia is also the first nation that used to be in the Soviet orbit to join - while Slovenia also was communist ruled, it was part of Yugoslavia, which kept its distance from Moscow.
The euro was introduced on financial markets on January 1, 1999 and notes and coins first came into circulation in 2002.
The zone widened to 15 nations this past January when Cyprus and Malta joined; the other members are:
Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia and Finland.
The old currency, the Slovak koruna, will be in circulation alongside the euro until Jan. 16 and banks are expected to open on Thursday to exchange koruna for euros.

STORYLINE:
Slovakia's church bells will ring out at midnight as the country joins the euro, putting it under the shared currency's protective umbrella amid a world financial downpour - and underscoring the former Soviet bloc nation's rapid economic progress.
Slovakia on Thursday will be the 16th country to join the euro, a European Union (EU) project which also celebrates its 10th birthday this New Year's Day.
With Slovakia, the currency will be used by 330 (m) million people with an annual gross domestic product of more than four (t) trillion euros (5.6 (t) trillion US dollars).
Joining up is a milestone for the country of 5.4 (m) million people in a region where others have seen their currencies buffeted by the financial crisis stemming from bank losses on securities backed by shaky US mortgages.
Economists predict the strong and stable euro will help the country weather the storm.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said joining was the continuation of a success story that began with the entry into the European Union in 2004.
Fico was expected to be among the first to get euros at an automated teller machine in the parliament after midnight.
Neighbouring EU member Hungary, once the beacon of economic success in the post-communist Eastern Europe, was forced earlier this year to accept a bailout from the International Monetary Fund to avert economic collapse, as has non-EU member Ukraine.
Slovakia is adopting the euro as some people in EU member countries Denmark and Sweden are rethinking their countries' refusal to sign up, while Poland is speeding up efforts to join.
Iceland, which is not an EU or a euro member, suffered badly as an outsider, being hit with a combination of a plunging currency and the popularity of high-interest foreign currency loans.
That means monthly loan repayments for cars and homes have doubled this year, hitting Icelanders hard as the economy teeters and jobs are slashed.
Slovakia is also the first nation that used to be in the Soviet orbit to join - while Slovenia also was communist ruled, it was part of Yugoslavia, which kept its distance from the Soviet Union.
