Merkel says Germany may be willing to increase bailout fund

The transcript discusses the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), explaining that the EFSF will phase out as planned, with 200 billion already allocated. These funds may run parallel to the ESM's 500 billion until repaid by program countries, after which the ESM will stand alone. The text also highlights the potential for increased protection for the Eurozone through bilateral credit lines from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), aiming for a robust defense mechanism for the Eurozone.
