Not Greece or any other Eu member state will declare a default. The plan is being negotiated where liquidity will be given to Eu banks hence ending this crisis. The Germans want to squeeze as many concessions from the rest of the Eu as possible making the Eu central bank more powerful and controlling as is the Federal Reserve bank in the usa.
There are negotiations to rid the Eu of this crisis.."The European Redemption Pact" is in focus.
the first paragraph of the Pact:
"..... The European Redemption Pact (ERP), a proposal of the German Council of
Economic Experts, describes an exit strategy from the debt crisis which currently plagues the
Euro-Area. The pact includes a binding commitment of all participating countries to bring
public debt ratios below the reference value of 60 % within the next 20 to 25 years. To ensure
that this objective can be reached with realistic primary balances, participating countries can
transfer their excessive debt exceeding the 60 % threshold at a certain date, into a redemption
fund for which participating member countries are jointly and severally liable. In this
technical paper, we describe in detail one possible way of implementing the ERP and the
primary balances each country would need to achieve under the proposal....."
Basically any debt over 60% of GDP gets transferred to the fund. With economic growth expected, a certain percentage of the growth will be used to pay the debt down by individual countries.
