EUR
Discuss EUR in this thread
They are in the Euro for the beer. That is EU is good as long as they buy german products.
Moreover, Germany has in absolute terms the highest debt in Eurozone. They need austerity measures as well. But slowly the voters wake up the gap between supporters and repudiators of the govts Euro politics widens in favor of repudiators. It is understood Ezone needs one financial dept, not 27.
I completely agree. EUROBONDS are here to say. And why is it so difficult to bring is what is confusing me.
There are two primary bonds markets: US and YEN bonds. Given the near stratospheric interest in both these bonds markets, both of which are fundamentally flawed and debt riddent economies with control over their economies, why will eurobonds not enjoy investor interest? Cause of Greece, Italy? There are 21 Greeces (Read states) in the US waiting to default but the US bonds somehow are masking them.
Why cant the Germans see their own folly? If they dont allow the eurobonds, there wont be a euro to trade nor will their EU economies to see their engines to.
Has anyone thought about the scenario of EUROBONDS without Germany backing it? I mean yields will be 3% but really that is not that bad either. Germany may crawl back once given the boot and if they see the EU bonds are here to stay.
"..Tsy Sec Geithner, in interview with BBC Radio, says must help
EU leaders understand 'that markets are moving much more quickly than
they are moving, and these things have the classic dynamic that the
longer you wait the harder it is to solve, the more expensive it is to
solve, and there is a huge premium on early action.' Also says it is
important for the governments to escalate is 'so that they do not leave
the central banking carrying too much of the burden of responding to a
crisis.'.."
