Greece finally received the second bailout, a total of Euro130billion, from the eurozone in February. This temporary resolved the possibility of debt default and secured the euro currency. However, credit ratings organizations warned that the country could still default and Mr. Hans-Peter Friedrich, the Federal Minister of the Interior even said that Greece's economy would recover only if she would withdraw from the eurozone (23 & 28 Feb 2012, Hong Kong Commercial Daily and 27 Feb 2012, MingPao). How can Greece and the eurozone get rid of the euro crisis and to what extent this crisis affect the world stock market? It seems we have no answer yet.
