The Euro Zone crisis is escalating, as Greece may be on the verge of a final collapse. According to the Reuters, anxious Greeks have started a bank run, withdrawing as much as 700 million euros ($894 million) from the nation's banks on Monday. Greece's political leaders meet on Wednesday to form a caretaker government to take it to a second election in just over a month, with its euro membership at stake and its president speaking of "fear that could develop into panic" at its banks. President Karolos Papoulias was forced to call a new vote after failing to cobble together a coalition government. An election on May 6 saw leftist opponents of Greece's EU/IMF bailout deprive the parties that ran the country for generations of a majority. Polls suggest the radical left are poised to win the re-run. That prospect has shaken faith in Greece's ability to remain in the single currency and stay solvent, sending the euro and European shares lower, and raising the bond yields that reflect the risk that other European countries will be hurt. Greeks are withdrawing euros from banks, apparently afraid of the prospect of rapid devaluation if the country leaves the European single currency, minutes of Papoulias's negotiations with political leaders showed. Central bank head George Provopoulos told him savers withdrew at least 700 million euros ($894 million) on Monday, the president told party chiefs. "Mr Provopoulos told me there was no panic, but there was great fear that could <b>...</b>

A summit of the G8 leading industrialized nations has ended in compromise with leaders striving to balance European austerity - an approach long driven by German Chancellor Angela Merkel - with a dose of US-style stimulus seen as vital to healing ailing eurozone economies. Before the summit, US President Barack Obama had made clear he was aligning himself with the new French president's drive for more economic stimulus. However the belt-tightening programs spearheaded by Germany and the UK also had significant political support. All leaders, including Russia's Dmitry Medvedev who was standing in for President Putin, agreed that Greece should remain in the Eurozone. But, while the eurozone debt crisis topped the agenda over the weekend, President Obama also used the opportunity to refocus on efforts to resolve the on-going crisis with Iran. The issue will be the focus of attention again next week, as a second round of Iran talks take place in in Baghdad. German Chancelor Angela Merkel: "The important message is that consolidation and growth are two sides of the same coin. And that's a discussion that everyone has focused on in equal measures." US President Barack Obama: "We agreed upon the importance of a strong and cohesive euro zone and affirmed our interest in Greece staying in the euro zone, while respecting its commitments. Of course we also recognize the painful sacrifices that the Greek people are making at this difficult time. "Last night we had a chance to discuss <b>...</b>

Negotiations on forming a new Greek government is set to resume on Tuesday after three previous failed attempts. The radical left block (Syriza) has refused to join any coalition which supports austerity in exchange for bailout packages. The mainstream socialists have attacked the Left for their intransigence. If the parties can't agree on a coalition there will have to be another election next month. But if Greeks elect a parliament that is opposed to austerity policies it may lead to Greece's exit from the eurozone. Al Jazeera's Tim Friend reports from Athens.

Breaking news on the Greece financial crisis! Check out this video too - www.youtube.com Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos told members of his government they must back deeper budget cuts needed to prevent financial collapse or quit, as political dissension threatened to unwind the country's second bailout. Papademos said failure to secure the 130 billion-euro ($171 billion) rescue package that's under negotiation threatened 11 million Greeks with a default that would halt the payment of wages and pensions and shut down schools, hospitals and businesses. He spoke after five ministers resigned in two hours and protesters clashed with police in Athens. "Some say default would be preferable," Papademos told a Cabinet meeting in Athens this evening, according to an e-mailed transcript from his office. "They are woefully mistaken. What is of the essence right now is to do whatever we can to approve the new plan and let the loan accord proceed." Concerns the bailout might unravel mounted after euro-area finance ministers yesterday kept back approval of Greece's austerity measures, one of the Greek governing coalition parties pushed back against German demands for deeper cuts, and police used tear gas to counter demonstrators in the capital. Papademos met his ministers to discuss the bill detailing the measures, amounting to 7 percent of gross domestic product to 2014, which will be put to a parliamentary vote this weekend.

After a night of tough negotiations European leaders clinched a deal on Thursday, agreeing to have banks take bigger losses on Greece's debts. The plan includes a significant reduction of Greece's debts and a reinforcement of a bailout fund so it can serve as a 1 trillion euros ($1.39 trillion). The move is aimed to prevent larger economies like Italy and Spain from being dragged into the crisis. And whether the EU anti-crisis plan is effective or not, for the austerity-hit Greek people any help appears to be a long way off.

Speakers: Dimitris Daskalopoulos, Moritz Kraemer, Vicky Pryce, Poul Thomsen Chair: Professor Kevin Featherstone Recorded on 28 March 2012 in Old Theatre, Old Building This is a very timely discussion of whether Greece can get out of its current economic crisis. The financial markets show concern that the recent bailout will not be enough and a further rescue may be needed. There is renewed international concern that other euro members will find themselves in difficulty prompting further action -- Portugal, it is feared, may need another bailout. The rescue strategy for Greece is clearly the 'test case' that will shape the response to any further problem. So, can it work? What must the 'Troika' and Greece do to return the economy to growth? The panel debate brings together key experts and protagonists. Dimitris Daskalopoulos is chairman of the board of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV). Moritz Kraemer is managing director EMEA, analytical manager (Sovereign Ratings) at Standard & Poor's. Vicky Pryce is senior managing director-economics of FTI Economics.

Last week was a truly hectic one for the EU, with violent anti-austerity demos and political deadlock again casting doubts over the future of the euro. In Spain, as many as hundreds of thousands marched in nationwide protest. They chanted slogans and waved banners demanding an end to cuts and painful austerity. In Italy, violent anti-austerity clashes erupted in the city of Naples, after yet another suicide apparently caused by an aggressive government taxation program. But above all that, is the political turmoil in Greece. There, a last-ditch effort to form a coalition has all but collapsed over differences on austerity and bailout terms. The country now looks likely to stage new elections.

This is the VOA Special English Economics Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Finance ministers from the euro area met in Poland in the middle of September to discuss the Greek debt crisis. American Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner joined them. Fabian Zuleeg, chief economist at the European Policy Center in Brussels, said the United States was right to get involved. "The intervention from the US has also shown at least a risk that the stability of the financial system as a whole -- the global financial system -- might be under threat again." Earlier, the leaders of France, Germany and Greece held a conference call to discuss how to contain Europe's deepening financial crisis. Germany and France are Europe's two largest economies. Seventeen European Union countries use the euro as their currency. On September fifteenth, five major central banks agreed to lend additional dollars to European banks in the euro zone.

The country's suicide rate has gone up 40% and though the statistics are not simple, suicide counsellors put much of the increase down to added pressure on family finances.

Greece's former finance minister has told Sky News that if Greece reneges on its bailout deal with the EU and the IMF it will "open the door to hell". Sky News last interviewed George Papaconstantinou two-and-a-half years ago. In December 2009 he told how Greece could survive independently and Greece's creditors had nothing to fear - they would get back every euro they were owed. A lot has changed since then. Greece is in the process of borrowing 240bn euros of emergency loans from the EU and the IMF (in return for pledges to raise taxes, cut spending and balance the books) and investors holding Greek debt have been forced write off up to 50% of their money. Even now Greece remains heavily in debt, deep in recession (now in its fifth year) and without a functioning elected government. Mr Papaconstantinou lost his position as finance minister last summer, shortly after the second bailout package was agreed. In the general election, two weeks ago, he also lost his seat as an MP. He was not alone as support for his Pasok party collapsed. The result of the election was inconclusive and, ultimately, no party was able to form a coalition government. In four weeks' time Greece will vote again. The opinion polls suggest that were an election to be held tomorrow the result would, once again be inconclusive, but the Syriza party, which is promising to "tear up" the bailout agreement with the EU and the IMF, continues to attract support.
