The Dutch finance minister is expected to face
competition from Spain's Economy Minister Luis de Guindos for
the appointment in July.
The Eurogroup has played a major role since the euro debt crisis
began in working out bailout packages for countries such as
Greece.
In a public interview arranged by De Volkskrant newspaper in
Amsterdam on Sunday and streamed live, Dijsselbloem said he was
enjoying the job, which he assumed in January 2013, and he would
like to continue.
There is a chance Dijsselbloem will lose his job as Dutch
Finance Minister within months. Dutch provincial elections on
March 18 are expected to leave Prime Minister Mark Rutte's
governing coalition with a minority in the Senate.
