Jouyet warns of great risks if Greece leaves euro

The head of the French Capital Market Commission, Jean-Pierre Jouyet on Tuesday said the scenario of Greece leaving the euro was “inconceivable”. In a television interview, Jouyet said: “One thing is inconceivable, Greece leaving the euro…because the EU Treaty will not allow it,” adding that such a scenario could lead to an economic, financial and social crisis.
“If you want to deal with civil war and social turmoil in the heart of Europe then lead Greece out the euro. This is an irresponsible solution,” the head of France’s stock market regulator said, adding that an agreement must be reached between the EU-27 member states.
