Default

Salir del Euro y "pesificar" tiene más desventajas que ventajas (Argentina 2001), por lo que la opción que queda es mantener el Euro y las deudas en Euros, pero renegociar con los acreedores y pasarles la factura por haber financiado fiestas ajenas.

"FOR a few weeks over the Christmas holidays, Europeans put their sovereign-debt crisis on hold. Now they are facing grim reality once more. Bond yields are spiking in an ever broader group of countries, just as the euro zone’s governments need to raise vast sums from the markets. On January 12th Portugal was forced to pay 6.7% for ten-year money—better than feared but a price it cannot afford for long. Yields for Belgian debt have jumped, as investors fret about its load of debt and lack of leadership. Spain is hanging on."
