Eurozone: the pain continues

Sadly 2012 will see little respite for the beleaguered citizens of Italy, Spain and Greece caught up in a currency over which they have no control.  Nor should we forget the travails of the Irish.  The French will come under pressure in 2012.

Outside the eurozone, but within the EU, the Hungarians  are having their fare share of problems. The IMF is unwilling to help and the government is refusing to grant independence to its' central bank.
