Greece will be start of sovereign default domino effect The former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund has predicted « a bunch of sovereign defaults » in the next few years, and gave warning that Greece is likely to be the first domino of several to fall. Professor Kenneth Rogoff, now a respected Harvard academic, also argued that substantial sovereign debt loads will force major global economies to tighten monetary policy, leading to further worldwide « shockwaves. » « Greece is just the beginning, » he said. « We usually see a bunch of sovereign defaults [in the years following a banking crisis]… I predict we will again. It’s very hard to call the timing but it will happen. » As well as his time at the IMF – he was chief economist from 2001-2004 – Prof Rogoff is best known for predicting the collapse of a number of major banks in the summer of 2008, which came true with the implosion of Lehman Brothers, and the need for rescues of both Halifax Bank of Scotland and the Royal Bank of Scotland. On Greece, Prof Rogoff expects the IMF – not the European Union – to eventually bail out of the Mediterranean nation. He said: « I don’t think Europe’s going to succeed. » |
Et au Quebec……….
Comme si c’était bien compliqué de mettre la main la dessus!
Sur la page d’accueil du ministère des finances du Québec, il y un lien intitulé La Dette du Gouvernement du Québec. On a qu’à cliquer dessus… grosse recherche.

Peut-être influencés par le refus de Londres et La Haye de renégocier ou le « f… y… » des Grecs ou les deux, les derniers sondages parlent d’un victoire du non à 74% au référendum sur Icesave samedi.
Plus j’y pense, plus on aurait dû faire le contraire: référendum sur la nationalisation des banques islandaises, et non pas sur le repaiement des dettes des dites banques!
