Euro zone may shrink, says New Barclays CEO

THE incoming chief executive of Barclays has suggested that "one or two" countries could leave the euro zone.

Bob Diamond, head of the investment bank Barclays Capital and one of Wall Street and the City of London's most powerful figures, said he thought that the single currency would survive the sovereign debt crisis afflicting a number of euro-zone economies, including Greece, Ireland and Portugal, but perhaps not in its present form.

Speaking on Sky News, he said: "I think it is in everyone's best interests that this (the euro) will hold together and stick together. I think it is possible that the number of countries are smaller inside it."

Asked whether this meant one or more members would be forced out or would choose to drop out, Mr Diamond replied: "I think that's a distinct possibility. But I think that's very different than thinking that the euro or euro zone won't hold together."



His comments are significant because he is one of the most high-profile figures in the financial markets to have been prepared to state publicly that the euro zone may not continue in its existing form.

Mr Diamond, who as incoming chief executive of Barclays will also be responsible for one of Britain's biggest savings institutions, also said that "a whiff of inflation would be good news for the economy" during 2011.

He added: "I think unemployment, surprisingly, will go down and I think we are going to see a closer working relationship with the banks and the private sector, and so I think that we'll see private sector jobs growth."

Mr Diamond, who rarely gives interviews, also defended how banks have acted since the financial crisis. He said that Barclays had changed the way it did business, for example in retaining higher levels of capital on its balance sheet.

He added: "I think we all have a responsibility to do a better job of explaining how we contribute to jobs and economic growth and how we contribute to a better society and to better communities."

However, Mr Diamond insisted, banks such as Barclays needed the freedom to continue paying bonuses to employees.

He said: "Our responsibility is to listen to the criticisms that we hear but also to be commercial and to be competitive with the US banks, with European banks in terms of how we provide services and how we do business, and that's kind of the balance that we have to draw out."

I'm seeing a sideways market until London. Look for trading to happen in a 25/27 pip range in the mean time. Who knows? I may be wrong, but I'm on the sidelines so it doesn't matter does it.

This is the second daily close below the 200 day moving average in a few weeks. If this second test fails I guess we will have a big rally as Asian central banks seem to be big buyers....but more likely...we will only get a few pips higher from here and test 1.27 before year end. I mean which investor in their sane mind wants to explain to investor how he lost money being long EURUSD at the end of the year at the same time as there was a ratings downgrade or negative watch for a EURO country almost every day.

The only thing balancing the EURO negativity is the latest 60 minutes report on US municipalities and how their are all going to default next year. But as we know, risk aversion means initial eurusd selling.

If any country was really to leave euro zone,it might give a big disaster,because later other countries instead of making strikes or disagreeing with European policies,simply start to threat to leave it,chain of destruction would begin.The good news now are that Estonia is joining the euro on January 1 that might give it a boost.

I think Estonia will be the only Euro country actually following the Maastricht criteria on debt and deficit.

The Euro is like going a bunch of people to a restaurant and deciding beforehand that the bill will be split. This means that everybody has a motivation to missbehave and order the most expensive stuff.

Errrr...Estonia has a population of about 1.5 million, smaller than several medium sized US cities (Phoenix, San Diego, Chicago, Houston, San Antonio, Philadelphia, etc). They have about about as much power to boost the EURO as you and your buddy. Don't count it on Estonia to boost the Euro! Something else may boost the EURO, but it sure won't be Estonia!

Estonia surely isn't going to prop up the EURO! Those that believe that it will are sadly mistaken! That's like saying that San Antonio, TX will prop up the dollar and magically get rid of our national debt!
