The Euro Zone’s Default Position

Like the over-leveraged euro-zone countries today, Kazakhstan binged on easy loans from global investment banks in recent years, before its banks defaulted on their loans in 2009. If European leaders are smart, they will recognize that a Greek default is similarly inevitable - and that it may be just what the European (and global) financial system needs.

WASHINGTON, DC – Kazakhstan may be far removed from the euro zone, but its recent economic experiences are highly relevant to the euro’s current travails. As the euro zone struggles with debt crises and austerity in its weaker members, Kazakhstan is emerging from a massive banking-system collapse with a strong economic recovery.
