PARIS — Europe's new bailout fund is being unveiled as finance ministers from the 17-nation eurozone meet in Luxembourg, amid more gloomy indicators about Europe's economic health.

It follows September's announcement by the European Central Bank of a bond-buying plan to ease the longstanding eurozone debt crisis.
