Reports that Spain's Catalonia region is having trouble financing itself added to investor worries out the eurozone crisis Friday.  Officials in Spain say that the region "will honor all of its financial commitments," according to The Wall Street Journal.  
Still, shares of Bankia -- Spain's largest bank -- were suspended for allegedly trading before a meeting to approve a plan to recapitalize, according to WSJ.  Madrid, however, has offered up a $24 billion bailout package to Bankia, which would be the largest bank bailout in Spain's history, WSJ reports.
