The Financial Forum celebrated its fourth gathering in White & Case offices.<\/p><\/div>\n

In this edition the topic was \u201cSovereign Debt: Greece, the Eurozone and Other Recent Developments\u201d. The President of the Financial Forum, Professor Ahmad Rahnema from IESE BUSINESS SCHOOL<\/strong><\/a>, introduced three schools of thought to frame the topic: Greece would have to exit the Euro, re-implement Dracma and have the control back on their monetary policy; secondly the decision of Greece leaving the EU may have already been taken; and as a third option, Greece would remain within the Euro as the current situation is considered a political issue and middle ground would be agreed.<\/p>\n

Dr. Rodrigo Olivares-Caminal, Professor on Financial and Banking Law at the Queen Mary University of London kicked off the debate with a brief presentation providing an overview of the current Greek situation together with some highlights from other global conflicted economies such as Argentina, Ukraine and Venezuela.<\/p>\n

He explained that Greece currently owes \u20ac315bn, from which 72% belongs to Public Sector. Debt has already been restructured as interest rates have decreased and a debt roll-out has taken place. However, this situation generates a major challenge as this is not only an economical or financial issue, but also a political and social one.<\/p>\n

Once the debate was opened, interactions focused on sharing different points of view as well as to question alternatives and develop a critical opinion towards the situation. Real consequences of the potential exit of Greece from the Eurozone were discussed, not only for the country itself and its inhabitants, but also for Spain and the rest of the EU countries with an acknowledgment of new political parties, such as Syriza or Podemos in Spain.<\/p>\n
