Few leaders in major countries of Europe have already shifted their rhetoric from austerity to growth, as the tax increases and cuts in government spending have exacerbated the economic downturn which causes the deep recessions in some euro zones countries.

Bank of Europe

Roubini warned, pulling the plug on funding Greece that already been bailed out twice, would lead to the collapse of the single currency, According to him, euro zone had two choices the first one is providing funding to facilitate an orderly exit by Greece or keep the Balkan country in the single currency by financing it in the same manner as West Germany supported the East after unification in 1990. The second option would be cheaper in the long term for the German taxpayer than allowing the euro zone to break up. The bank of Europe should spread out the money supply massively in order to diminish the euro, ideally to parity with US dollar to give Greece, Italy and Spain a real chance to become in competitive.
