ECB’s Stark: Euro zone at point where more and more rescue measures would be fatal without financial system and economic policy adjustments
- ECB starting to adjust interest rates, remove support measures
- If industrialised nations don’t cut debt I see unpredictable risks to stability and employment
- Greece needs to make further substantial efforts and realise privatisations
- Don’t see reason why Greece would not be able to return to markets if implements plans
- Understands calls for private sector role in Greek debt deal, necessary to avoid moral hazard. However would create credit event
- Default would hit Greek banks, European taxpayers would then have to step in to refinance them
- Risks taken by ECB have been big but can be managed
