EUROPE - The European Central Bank (ECB) has left its key interest rate unchanged at 3.25% on Thursday at its last meeting before the introduction of euro notes and coins in January.

The ECB lowered rates by a bigger than expected fifty basis points four weeks ago, pushing them down to their lowest level since February 2000.
