Webinar Overview

Fears that defaults will cripple the global economy continue to grow, especially as Asian stocks fall on European debt, and the U.S. strives to cope with the limits of its debt ceiling.  The need for a comprehensive solution starting in Europe is imperative.

Yet, the dramatic sell-off in Spanish and Italian bonds has heralded the opening of a dangerous new chapter in Europe’s sovereign debt crisis. These countries dwarf Greece, Portugal, and Ireland, which are currently on Euro-IMF life support. Europe’s leaders have struggled to put together a new deal for Greece, and the concept of private sector involvement is troubling markets.

The presentation addresses a number of key questions:

  • What are the policy options in the face of Greece’s public finance problems?
  • Is there any light at the end of the tunnel for the economy?
  • Are Spain and Italy different from the other peripherals? Are they too big to fail, but too big to bail?
  • Can the ECB save the day?
  • Are we heading for a dramatic ending?
