Euro Crisis: Sovereign problem; corporate solution
Greece is likely to default on its monetary commitments.
There is talk of kicking Greece out of the
European Union (EU).
Greece has PIIGS for company (Portugal,
Italy, Ireland, Greece & Spain). All have weak Sovereign finances.
It is believed that if Greece becomes independent
of EU it could devaluate itself out of its problems.
But this surgical treatment has many side
effects.
Once Greece is out, Currency
speculators will cause havoc with the other PIIGS. It would kick-start a
contagion in Europe. The treatment may itself turn into a disease.
The suggestion proposed is similar to corporate
restructuring / Split.
Split Euro into two.
Euro (S): representing strong countries
like Germany, France and others, and
Euro (W): representing weak PIIGS.
Euro (W) will gradually devaluate itself
and come out of its problems. The union will have sufficient size to take the
currency speculators head on. And it
will be a full and final solution, unlike the piece meal breakup of each
country.
A corporate example to a similar exercise
is the split of Reliance Industries into
RIL and
R. Com, RNRL etc.
