Ireland is the only one of the biggest countries in the euro zone that has not injected capital into its banks or outlined plans to do so in the face of the financial market crisis, according to analysts.

The other nine of the 10 biggest euro zone countries, based on last year's gross domestic product statistics, have either provided fresh capital to banks or drafted frameworks to bail out banks, ranging from the equity capital boost for lender Dexia from the French, Belgian and Luxembourg governments to France's plan this week to provide its biggest banks with €10.5bn ($8.1bn) in subordinated loans.
