It seems that the Greek crisis has enabled Germany to borrow more cheaply and save Euros 100 billion. It’s eye-watering.

Add this to the fact that the Euro crisis has weakened the Euro but Germany’s exporters have benefited on a massive scale. The former president of the US’s Federal Reserve, argued that either the Euro’s fiscal rules should be loosened or an export constraint should be introduced as well.

Let me ask an open question:

Is Germany manipulating the rules to Germany’s advantage?

Thoughts?

Yesterday, I asked a politically savvy Greek Cypriot, whom he thought would emerge governing Greece? His reply surprised me – he told me that Tsipras was so popular in Greece because he is seen as clean and anti-corruption.

Once the dust settles, it would be a good move (as John Gelmini suggests) for Tsipras to team up with Europe’s best law-enforcement professionals and bring the corrupt to trial. This would be seen as a powerful change initiative. Perhaps, Greece needs to look to China as an example?
