BERLIN May 19 (Reuters) - Euro zone states must reduce their deficits to win the confidence of financial markets, which remain unconvinced about the currency area's fiscal health, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Wednesday.

"We haven't really convinced the markets yet, as we have seen the euro falling further. That means we must reduce deficits in all euro zone member states," Schaeuble told Deutschlandfunk radio.
