German Chancellor Angela Merkel Thursday said the European Central Bank's requirement for conditionality in exchange for help lowering borrowing costs in high-debt euro zone countries matches Germany's priorities to end the crisis, Bloomberg News reported.

Merkel added that time is running out to resolve the crisis. "On many of these issues we feel we're on the right track," Merkel said, Bloomberg News reported. "But obviously time is pressing."
