Čo v prípade, ak EURO skolabuje?

Tri možné scenáre: úplný kolaps; čiastočný kolaps; Nemecko opustí Eurozónu. Predpokladá sa, že v prípade kolapsu EUR by čiastočne získali meny krajín z nerastným bohatstvom. Avšak najviac by získalo zlato a ostatné drahé kovy.

Resource producing currencies would soar. In an attempt to lower their exchange rates they would turn to lowering their interest rates in the hope of maintaining the export competitiveness of their locally manufactured goods. With resources having an international market price, outside their own currency, such nations would drive down their exchange rates, provided local inflation allowed it [As China is doing now and as was suggested by the I.M.F. recently].

The overall result would be a volatile and damaging use of currencies as part of trade wars. Should that happen, Protectionism and Exchange Controls would become commonplace, particularly in smaller economies.
