Who said everything is fine? Problems are huge. This is why we don't need euroskeptic journalist writing sensationalist drivel just to forward their own agenda.

"The Russian budget is based on Urals crude at $95..."

$95 wow that is a big number... Why doesn't he say break even was at $70. Even better, at the time of writing he knows the revised budget is coming out in a couple of days - based on a barrel at $41 -

"In Poland, 60pc of mortgages are in Swiss francs. The zloty has just halved against the franc...."

60 pct down... oh no wait a minute turn out that was a drop from a short lived peak, it's only down 20% from last years normal levels.

Not saying everything is rosy but I like to be separate economics from politics, many people bashing the Euro aren't
