Whilst I agree with most of Horusd's analysis, in answer to your question, the one problem that would go away would be that of balancing the budget. It simply balances by printing the new currency. That is presumably the reason for the clamour to leave the euro, on the face of it you escape all this austerity stuff.Thanks Horusd. its a pity people who suggest exit from the euro do not spell out the consequences as you have clearly done.
Absolutely, but the deficit itself is sorted, at least temporarily, and politically that is always the one which is most difficult to tackle directly.Rightly or wrongly I always thought that printing more money to pay for the deficit would have severe consequences like hyper inflation. Anyway who would accept our new currency to pay for imports?
Is it more likely that the stronger countries like Germany leave the euro and it will become a weak currency for the likes of us and Greece?
Can you expand on those two points please Sunny?Leave the euro and the imput costs for the multinationals would rocket. The devaluation would have very little impact on their export values and then we would have capital controls in place.
