Greece may have only a 46-hour window of opportunity should it need to plot a route out of the euro. That's how much time the country's leaders would probably have to enact any departure from the single currency while global markets are largely closed, from the end of trading in New York on a Friday to Monday's market opening in Wellington, New Zealand, based on a synthesis of euro-exit scenarios from 21 economists, analysts and academics. ECB President Mario Draghi responded May 16 that the ECB's "strong preference" was for Greece to stay in the euro. Photographer: Angel Navarrete/Bloomberg Over the two days, leaders would have to calm civil unrest while managing a potential sovereign default, planning a new currency, recapitalizing the banks, stemming the outflow of capital and seeking a way to pay bills once the bailout lifeline is cut. The risk is that the task would overwhelm any new government in a country that has had to be rescued twice since 2010 because it couldn't manage...
Hollande to push for eurbonds at EU Summit
Tags: EU summit growth austerity Greece eurobonds euro crisis zone Barroso Hollande Merkel Monti Syriza elections Europe Brussels European Commission Union Council Athens Berlin paris News
EU leaders are gathering in Brussels on Wednesday to discuss how to kick-start growth in Europe while keeping deficits down. New French President Francois Hollande has increasingly been putting pressure on German Chancellor Angela Merkel to reconsider her negative views on Euro bonds, bonds jointly underwritten by all eurozone member states. Hollande warned on Saturday during a G8 Summit in Camp David that he is not alone in supporting the proposal. Italy's Monti, Spain's Rajoy and the EC are expected to back the idea. As the biggest economy in Europe, mutualizing common European debt would mean Germany having to finance sovereign debt from other countries. Merkel has already said she does not rule out euro bonds as a long-term prospect, but under one condition: a more integrated political and fiscal European Union. Cube Spin Greece and the unofficial talk of a Greek euro exit are also set to be discussed. After the elections earlier this month, the Greek political parties failed to...

22 MAY 12 / 15:03:25 Giant Statue of Philip of Macedon Erected in Skopje A giant 29-metre tall bronze statue of the ancient warrior king, Philip of Macedon, was erected on Tuesday in the heart of the Macedonian capital Skopje amidst a cheering crowd of spectators. Sinisa Jakov Marusic BIRN Skopje The statue is located in the middle of what will be a lavish complex of four fountains, currently under construction, and faces a similarly sized statue of Alexander the Great on the other side of Skopje's landmark Stone Bridge. Philip is depicted in a standing position, unlike his son, Alexander, who is on a horse. The new statue is formally entitled "Warrior with accompanying elements", a rather vague description apparently designed to avoid further upsetting opinion in neighbouring Greece, which claims Philip and Alexander as Greek heroes. The statue of Alexander is formally entitled "an equestrian warrior". The statues, albeit with inoffensive titles, are unlikely to help Macedonia's...

GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONTAGION: Euro Zone - Greece Crisis Threatens to "Open Door to Hell"?!
Tags: Athens Austerity Measures Bailout Bank Run Default Economic Crisis EU Euro Zone Euro Zone Crisis Euros Financial Crisis Global Economic Contagion Global Economy Greece IMF Italy Riots Suicides
Greece's former finance minister has told Sky News that if Greece reneges on its bailout deal with the EU and the IMF it will "open the door to hell". Sky News last interviewed George Papaconstantinou two-and-a-half years ago. In December 2009 he told how Greece could survive independently and Greece's creditors had nothing to fear - they would get back every euro they were owed. A lot has changed since then. Greece is in the process of borrowing 240bn euros of emergency loans from the EU and the IMF (in return for pledges to raise taxes, cut spending and balance the books) and investors holding Greek debt have been forced write off up to 50% of their money. Even now Greece remains heavily in debt, deep in recession (now in its fifth year) and without a functioning elected government. Mr Papaconstantinou lost his position as finance minister last summer, shortly after the second bailout package was agreed. In the general election, two weeks ago, he also lost his seat as an MP. He...

www.rt.com Frankfurt police have detained 400 anti-capitalist protesters ahead of a key conference on monetary policy scheduled for the weekend. With thousands more heading into the city in the coming hours, new clashes are expected. Authorities say anti-capitalists were erecting barricades, vandalizing road signs and blocking traffic at various locations across the city. Frankfurt -- Germany's financial capital -- is home to the European Central Bank (ECB). As the eurozone faces a deepening of the economic crisis following fears that Greece can no longer remain part of the currency bloc, policymakers from EU member states have arrived in the city for two days of intense talks. Meanwhile, up to 30000 protesters are expected to make their way into the Frankfurt over the weekend. Their chief demand is an end to austerity -- cuts in government spending, often made by sovereign governments in exchange for offers of loans from the EU -- which activists say is leading to "Europe-wide...

As the Greek debt crisis continues to be a heavy burden for the country's government, Greek citizens have also been pushed to a harder life through the austerity measures carried out by government. Various international charity organizations which used to be frequently seen at international refugee camps are now showing up in Greece to help the impoverished families. Perama, a city 20 kilometers from Athens' downtown, used to be a busy port city. After the crisis hit, nearly 60 percent of residents have lost their jobs. Unemployment has left locals with no money to afford food, energy, or health care. A charity house in Perama, which used to provide free medical service to illegal immigrants, has now started to receive unemployed residents who can not afford for their medical care. The unemployed, including pregnant women, are seeking free medicine and clothes in the charity house, and sometimes even food. "I don't have a job, all of our relatives are helping us.

Greek euro exit would be very costly
Tags: euronews Crisis Greece Eurozone in crisis Economic crisis
www.euronews.com If Greece has to leave the eurozone the cost will be massive. The European Central Bank and the single currency bloc's governments and banks would be hit with a bill of hundreds of billions of euros. It is estimated that the ECB, the International Monetary Fund and eurozone nations hold close to 200 billion euros worth of its debt. A Greek exit from the euro would mean Athens defaulting on those loans which is why the IMF is ready for the worst. IMF chief Christine Lagarde explained: "We at the IMF have to be technically prepared for anything, because it is our job. But I'm not suggesting that this is a desirable solution. I'm just saying this is within the range of multiple options, one that we have to technically look at, obviously." Economists say Athens' default following a Greek euro exit would wipe out the European Central Bank's capital reserves. ECB President Mario Draghi has just acknowledged for the first time that Greece could leave the currency union...
Greeks Withdrawing Cash from Banks as Financial Fears Grow

Transcript by Newsy: www.youtube.com Image Source: Bloomberg) BY EMILY ALLEN Take the money and run. Fears about Greece using the Euro in the future have some investors doing just that. Good Morning America says you can already see its impact on world markets. "All three US indeces were lower and all the major overseas exchanges were also off overnight all because of the intensifying worries that Greece may default on its debt and pull out of the Euro currency." And now, there is fear of a bank run. In the past week, Greeks have pulled close to $1 billion from the nation's banks. It's possible Greece could switch back to its former currency. The Washington Post says Greeks are scared their savings would be replaced by the less-valued drachma. So they're withdrawing their euros and putting them in a safe spot like a German bank but... "It's a smart move by those individuals. The problem, though, is that if everyone in Greece does this, it could inadvertently get Greece kicked out of...

Although the recent austerity measures are supposed to help Greece secure a future stability, they are not likely helping many local families feel any bit of certainty about their own future. Thirty-seven-year-old Antonis Voulgaris lost his job when the furniture store he worked at downsized after a decline in sales. Because of this, his monthly income fell from 1500 euros to 450 euros. He now lives on the pretty sum provided by the unemployment insurance. Voulgaris and his pregnant wife are now living in a 90-square-meter apartment in a suburb of the capital city of Athens. His wife, a teacher in a private school, tries to earn more by teaching French as a part-timer. "Before the crisis, my family earned about 3000 euros per month," Voulgaris said. "Now, my wife is still working at a private school, but her wage reduced like others, and current monthly incomes of my family is only about 1200 euros." Voulgaris's wife is expected to give birth in less than a month, which would mean a...
