From the beginning of the Greek crisis, there for
2010, one has spoken of the chaos that would suppose the exit of Greece of area
euro, as well as of the misery that he would leave in the Hellenic country. But
not all the experts coincide in the same pessimistic vision of the event and,
in fact, there is who defends that the repercussions would be much more than
positive for the Greek economy. Among them my readers know I am, but I cannot
refuse write on this topic again because this time I am not me who he says it
the he says the history and much more authorized characters that me.
One of these voices that discusses that the
abandonment of the euro on the part of Greece doesn't have to be a drama it is
Adam Slater economist boss in the analysis signature Oxford Economics and for
it is based it on the History. The thesis that Adam Slater, defends in its
recent report that of those more than 70 countries that they have abandoned
monetary, alone unions some few ones from 1945 have experienced significant
losses in its production and growth. In fact, in some of these cases the
economic setback is due to different causes, like it happened to the old
Yugoslavia and the civil war.
In a general way, the growth was positive in around
two thirds of the countries that already adopted a new currency in the year in
that happened, while for a third the consequences were negative. And alone for
8% of the countries the economies were seriously affected, being written down
setbacks in the production of 20% or more.
The most probable scenario if Greece abandons the euro
it will be a significant fall of the GDP, but the historical evidences suggest
that this would be followed by a quite strong turnaround, it indicates in the
study, picked up by Bloomberg. And it gives examples: Czechoslovakia dissolved
its monetary union in 1993 in one period of 'transition' of single five weeks
and in the mark of the process of breakup of this country in two new nations,
the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Slovak production fell later around 4%
that year, but two years, in 1995, it was already 10 higher% that in 1992.
It is necessary to keep in mind the circumstance that
the report doesn't mention to the Czech Republic because it is in the same
moment of the separation its economy to he expanded in that case the poor part
or let us say that it braked the economies of both countries it was Slovakia.
The two resulting nations mainly the first one was and they are very dependent
of the German influence, this should consider because for my knowledge of the
area, I know that Germany influences a lot in reactivating the old Czech's
economy - so much Slovakia for its cultural vicinity as for its interest in
separating them of the influence of Russia. Germany started immediately and
with force "Skoda" through its purchase on the part of VW and use the
industrial structures of both nations and its much cheaper manpower that the
German paid in Eurus.
Transferring the calculations to Greece, Slater
doesn't discard that the Interior product (GDP) of Greece it can collapse until
10% after abandoning the euro, but he also adds that the fall would be limited
by other "advantages" that would give cause to the recovery and that
much depends of "how the transition" is negotiated. In this point,
the economist recognizes that Greece would be beneficiary in the case of
getting a weaker exchange rate that impels the exports and some more flexible monetary
conditions. Also, through the default the Government from Athens could find
space district attorney for recapitalize to the banks and any possible movement
to the drop in the bags you grieve it would feel in the homes, since alone 2%
of the money of the small savers is in the variable rent.
In accordance with the report, the half growth that
they reach the countries that change its foreign currency is located in 2,7%
the year that makes the decision, and of 3,2% from the previous year until the
later year to the same one. "The managerial sector of the country can be
surprisingly resistant before the exits of a monetary union because he fears
the serious financial crises that sometimes accompany" them, Slater it
points.
But what is clear is that the history says that at the
end the country comes out strengthened because the subjection to a currency
that doesn't reflect its reality as for the industrial economic potential and
of consumption it prevents to adjust its economy what makes it inviable it is what
is passing in Greece and what passed in Spain the foreign currencies of the
countries is adjusted according to its economies and this makes that everything
goes in agreement with the reality the state can condition wages and internal
costs according to the levels that it can really sustain.
The society is adjusted because the prices are located
at its level it is very possible that the consumption falls or change but like
they indicate the experiences these economies they resurge stronger that doesn't
mean them to be stronger with regard to the economies of the abandoned
currency, but yes they are more it in comparison to what they were in fact
themselves with the abandoned currency. The important thing in these processes
is that there is not a political break that is to say that the new country and
their new currency are not rejected by the market in that it was unwrapped the
monetary separation before that is to say it should be purely an act of state
economy, not of rebelliousness or of enmity politics.
In the current
situation this it is the solution Greece he should abandon the economy euro and
at the same time to receive economic help and of the UE for their readjustment
to their new economy this would not cause the effect infection that so much the
UE fears regarding other economies of the union with problems and, to the
international markets, he would give a clear sign that the euro is a strong and
sure currency and that the economies that use it, are also safe and chords with
the strength of the own foreign currency, this now is breaking for blame of
320,000 million of Eurus of debt of a country that will be able to never to pay
this debt, neither he will be able to lift the head above with this
weight.
