Spanish bail-out impossible’, experts warn – Telegraph

Spanish bail-out impossible’, experts warn – Telegraph.

As the economic situation in Spain worsens by the day, many think it is only a matter of time before Spain will need a full bail-out.

However, economists looking at Spain’s borrowing needs, their crippled banking sector, and their ailing economy now believe the required bail-out would be more than the eurozone could manage.

Head of economic research at Open Europe, believe Spain will require around €650bn.

The situation may force Germany into finally deciding whether to work towards the break up of the eurozone, or the pooling of all the eurozone sovereign debt. The pooling of the debt would lead to a full economic union, and inevitably to much stronger political ties.  With Greece likely to require yet another bailout before the end of the year, and the fall out from the current situation nudging Italy ever closer to the economic death spiral, it is only a matter of time before Germany will have to make some very difficult choices. The question is will the people of Europe accept the outcome, whatever that may be?
