The future of Greek economy has been hanging in the balance for months and with the country unable to form a government and the rise of popularity amongst parties that reject spending cuts previously agreed with other eurozone governments, it’s looking possible that Greece could leave the Eurozone. The wider implications of the eurozone crisis will undoubtedly affect businesses across Europe and despite Britain’s position outside of the Euro, Greece’s problem is also the UK’s.

This week on Edelman Editions Richard Sambrook is joined by Stefan Stern, Edelman’s Director of Strategy, and Kelly Desinioti, Account Director to discuss the situation in Greece and what it means for the bigger picture.

We are keen to hear your thoughts on this topic; do you think Greece should leave the eurozone? What do you think are the implications of the crisis across Europe? Please feel free to comment directly on the track above, or in our comments field below.
