The Shrinking Euro

THE SHRINKING EURO The EU dream was born out of the idea that countries are stronger together than they are apart, but data compiled over the past decade suggests that this may not be the case. The Greek debt crisis, political turmoil over Ukraine and global financial meltdown set the Euro currency on a downward spiral that it has not yet recovered from. EVENTS CONTRIBUTING TO DROP OF EURO Investors think subprime would be the U.S. only crisis The decision of European Central Bank to increase the interest rate backfires Investors realize EU is also vulnerable to subprime $1.4738 $1.3919 $1.2545 Investors are worried about the weakness of the EU economy $1.20 Greek debt crisis flares up Euro plummets as the Greece debt The Ukraine crisis starts to $1.2640 crisis worsens heat up $1.2149 $1.36 ECB's purchase of eurobonds Fear that election may result in Greece leaving Eurozone devalues the Euro Traders push Euro down and invest in Pound GREXIT $1.06 $1.21 $1.0479 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 TOP 4 REASONS FOR THE DROP OF EURO GREEK DEBT CRISIS QUANTITATIVE EASING Every new Euro created by the ECB's March 2015 QE policy, devalues the existing money in circulation. A Greek default and exit from the eurozone would plummet the currency and have a domino effect on the world's economy. "CARRY TRADE" THE UKRAINE CRISIS If the EU sanctioned Russia over the Ukraine crisis it would have a serious impact on trade and their EU lenders. E.g. France has loaned Russia $51 billion! Traders bet on the Euro price falling and then reinvest in GBP for its higher interest rate. This has dampened the Euro in summer 2015.

The error was so great that even this tiny economy - just 1.3% of the EU's GDP - has contrived to traumatize the Europe's leaders. WHAT IF GREECE WAS NOT PERMITTED INTO THE EUROZONE?

Europe lacks labor mobility, wage flexibility, and a central fiscal authority. The trade can flourish even without a single currency or fixed exchange rate. 6" Europe's common market exemplifies a situation that is unfavorable to a common currency. -MILTON FRIEDMAN, 1997 THE MOST EXPOSED COMPANIES TO THE DROP OF EURO BASED ON SALES TO EUROPE Coca-Cola Enterprises (Europe) Western Union Human Industrial Industries OPhilip Morris XL Capital Ltd McDonald's O Priceline.com Autodesk Accenture AON CocaCola A XL P AON 100% 60% 48% 45% 44% 41% 41% 40% 40% 39% THE MOST EXPOSED COUNTRIES TO THE DROP OF EURO AS OF 15 JUNE, 2015 Norway Switzerland Russia South Korea 134,148 236,926 285,137 82,165 4.0% 7.0% 8.4% 2.4% USA Brazil Turkey India China Japan 516,092 68,034 128,831 72,539 467,191 107,848 15.3% 2.0% 3.8% 2.1% 13.8% 3.2% Total EU trade (million EUR) Share on total EU trade (%) WHAT CAN RESCUE EURO? "It would be easy for the ECB to solve this problem. The easiest way would be to write off the Greek bonds." "If the eurozone is to prosper under a single currency over the next decades, the Greek threat will have to be removed." "The answer is to issue conditional bonds, so that states with weaker fiscal positions pay interest rate penalties if they fail to strengthen their public finances." DeAnne Julius, Paul De Grauwe, American-British economist Professor of International Geraint Johnes, Economics, London School of Economics Professor of Economics, Lancaster University Management School "Europe has a special problem, which is the single currency without the single government.". "My roadmap to recovery is for the euro to split in two, with a stronger northern euro and weaker southern Paul Krugman, version."
