As analysts and market makers continue to debate on the possibilities of a Grexit as the new base scenario, Mr González-Páramo believes “it won’t happen” since it would mean a “failure” for all parties involved.
Financial contagion to other EU peripheral countries is not an option, since Spain and Portugal have indeed done their homework, he said. Athens only cut expenses and increased taxes, although no major reforms have been implemented so far, he added.
