Abstract

Sovereign debt crisis in the Euro area, which began officially in Greece, was predicted by over the years for many specialists in the field. It has spread throughout the European continent, spreading it as an epidemic and affecting, as expected, more countries with a weaker economy, even if they were not part of the Euro area. However, its effects were seen in Europe and abroad, in the light of the fact that the single currency is an international currency and any flaw in her immune system makes the confidence the world actors in it to fall ... or not?
