The head of the European Central Bank says governments should be "rigorous" in their budget policies.

Jean-Claude Trichet said Sunday that governments have to juggle a declicate balancing act when setting spending and tax guidelines.

They need to instill confidence in households so they keep spending, in companies so they keep investing, as well as in savers and investors.
