Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostThe Eurozone is extremely slow to react to challenging financial situations. It’s this lack of agility that makes it vulnerable. Interest rates in the Eurozone are zero (and even negative), billions of euros have been generated through QE. Come the next GFC, the central bank’s Arsenal is considerably depleted. It is then, IMHO that the true resilience of the Euro will be tested. For my part I want the UK to have nothing to do with that sinking ship.

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostGood post lots of Telegraph journalists in the past preaching that Greece couldn't possible recover without leaving the Euro. In fact they preached that neither Ireland, Italy, Portugal or Spain could possible avoid leaving the Euro.
They were wrong, lets just remember that. They seem to have finally given up predicting the imminent demise of the Euro.
