Felix Zulauf interview part 6: The euro will not survive

The financial market expert Felix Zulauf expressed his opinion in an interview for Wirtschaftswoche Online that the Euro has no chance to survive and more and more people are investing their money in German banks. According to Mr. Zulauf, the longer Euro exists, the higher will be losses when it breaks appart.

The euro has absolutely no chance?

Realistically, it will not survive. It would have chance only at full fiscal union, that is common with household policies. That would be possible only in a political union. At this moment the European nations are not ready. Therefore, the politics will continue to make compromises, and that is why we remain in a permanent crisis several years.

Felix Zulauf interview part 5: The euro divides Europe, not unite it

The financial market expert Felix Zulauf expressed his opinion in an interview for Wirtschaftswoche Online that European integration is not dependent on the euro. The euro is not an integration project, but it divides Europe, thinks Mr. Zulauf.

Would it not be better if you do not let the people vote directly on this issue, as it would be in Switzerland?

The facts came to light, but that does was not due to the politics. The politics assumesthat the euro is an integration project. But European integration is not dependent on the euro. The euro is not an integration project, but it divides Europe. Originally the idea was pursued to eliminate the single currency, the currency fluctuations in the European Economic Area.

But because of the different competitiveness, we now have hard impact in the real economy. If you ask Spaniards, Greeks, Italians and Portuguese, you will come very soon to the conclusion that it was better than the exchange rate fluctuated and the economy is still fairly reliable, organized and developed.
