Recommendation

Is the euro at the brink of collapse? In consultation with thought leaders in the business and investment community, Ian Wishart and John Fraher,reporters for Bloomberg Politics, have put together three scenarios under which the euro may break up, as well as three counterscenarios that would allow the euro to survive. getAbstract recommends this easy-to-follow, graphically illustrated outline of possible future scenarios to business executives with stakes in the European market and to readers with euros in the bank.

Take-Aways

  • Leading international investors and executives are concerned about the possible collapse of the European Union’s common currency, the euro. 
  • The most likely event that could lead to the breakup of the euro is a Greek default on its debt. 
  • The collapse of Italy’s banking system or the victory of France’s right-wing politician Marine le Pen would also threaten the survival of the common currency.
