The euro zone continues playing to catch fire with Greek fire. Germany
says that, contrary to 2011 and 2012, at the present time the region is the
sufficiently strong thing as to support an exit of Greece of the euro. It is
evident that partly he is right because Germany has already recovered more than
80% of its debt and in the bottom the Greek debt is not more than Eurus lent in
its majority by the same German banks, that it is evident have already said it
that they can leave the euro but that they will return until the last debt euro
this a dangerous and impossible idea.
The elections in Greece that will take place January 25, and they think
about as a new referendum on the permanency of the country in the unique
currency, I am not so sure of I believe it that they forget that together to
the euro the permanency goes to the UE, because the Greeks won't be so silly of
staying in an UE governed by the euro if they decide to leave it would be
impossible to the country to overcome in this market.
This probably exaggerates the
risks: the party of left Syriza that leads the polls, doesn't make campaign in
favor of the exit and a majority of the Greek voters wants to remain in the
euro. But a victory of Syriza that he wants that it relaxes himself the debt of
Athens, he will give place to complicated negotiations with the rest of Europe.
If those negotiations reach a dead point, the events could still conspire to
take out Greece of the euro.
There is no doubt that there are few signs of concern in the financial
markets around this risk, as example we have that although the Hellenic funds
you has collapsed, the profitability to ten years of Italy and Spain stays very
below 2%; in the case of Portugal, it has gotten off 2,5%. The infection in a
principle has not happened. But the descent of the yields responds to the
perspective that the European Central Bank buys government funds of the euro zone,
something that is much more probable in fact to avoid an exit of Greece.
It seems that the situation of the euro zone is more solid than three
years ago. Countries like Spain, Portugal and Ireland have intervened to
approach their problems, and fire walls like the European Mechanism of
Stability, the vehicle of rescue of the euro zone, they are already in vigor.
The restructuring of the Greek debt in 2012 implies that an exit or an unpaid
one don't suppose a threat for the European bank system; most of the Greek debt
is at the present time in hands of governments of the euro zone and of the
International Monetary Fund.
But an exit of Greece would continue outlining important threats for the
euro, mainly politicians more than economic the incognito one that the markets
accept a new Greece outside of the euro and possibly of the UE to half term,
the collapse of the UE that is to my way of seeing unavoidable could hurry
unless the BCE absorbs and agglutinate all the European debts that is to say in
an alone one that the BCE becomes the European FED.
A fundamental principle of the BCE is that the euro is irreversible. The
promise of the president of the BCE, Mario Draghi, of buying government funds,
if ends up being necessary, through the program of Direct Monetary Operations
it was based on the idea that the investors were afraid irrational on a
collapse of the euro. An exit would destroy these foundations: he would sit
down a precedent. If a country can leave, they can also make it other and
friends in this are but it is necessary to remember that this that the euro is
irreversible is words of Draghi it is not word of God neither of Merkel.
And although the economic mark of the euro zone is
more solid than before, it is not it the politician both they are not by no
means complete. The political will has maintained until the moment the intact
unique currency, but they are winning supports new parties that challenge the
orthodoxy of the European politicians. The countries "have to be better
inside of (of the monetary union) of what he would be outside", Draghi
points out. However, the economy of Italy is hardly bigger in real terms at the
present time that in 2000. The unemployment overcomes 10% in nine countries of
the euro zone, and Spain goes on the way to being dismembered political and
physically.
