Moral hazard must be avoided in euro

It will not work as long as there are diverse interests and responsibilities that have been running so deep and wide between the Germans and the others.

It will be irresponsible to bail out some the troubled euro economies without them paying a real price for their troubles.

A middle way is to bail them out on the condition that they pay a higher than the ECB rate or possible potential euro bond rates to other more better shaped euro member economies.

But no one is saying that yet so far.

Until that is clear, then the euro is doomed to see some of its weak members to exit it.

Alternatively, a possible dual euro currency system may also work that would afford the flexibility of currency adjustment to their fallen international competitiveness.
