ECB's Draghi urges swift action on bailout fund
His comments come as the Italian parliament gave its approval to the new government led by economist Mario Monti.
The new Greek government also published its budget plans for 2012.
After a turbulent week, markets remained wary of developments with share indexes seeing mixed trading.
By early afternoon on Friday the Dow Jones index in New York was up 0.4% after worries about the eurozone prompted a sharp fall on Thursday.
However other US and European markets remained down or unchanged as investors waited to see how the latest political developments affected efforts to solve the eurozone crisis.
Bond markets - which set the cost of borrowing for governments - were also calmer, with the interest on Italian and Spanish government debt falling slightly.
Action call
Speaking in Frankfurt, Mr Draghi expressed impatience with the lack of progress by European leaders.
"Where is the implementation of these long-standing decisions? We should not be waiting any longer," he said at Friday's European Banking Conference.
In his speech, Mr Draghi suggested the ECB's main job remained to ensure long-term low inflation.
"Credibility implies that our monetary policy is successful in anchoring inflation expectations over the medium and longer term," he said.
He called for governments to play their role in tackling the debt crisis through "solid public finances and structural reforms", as well as reforms to the way the eurozone works; Kazinform cites BBC.
