    Over the past ten years, Greece had been on a debt spree that came to an abrupt halt in late 2009. This unsustainable expenditure in social entitlements provoked an economic crisis that had destroyed the country’s economy, brought down its governing body, unleashed increasing unrest in the populace and greatly endangered the future of the euro. Greece’s debt issues can be traced back to years of spending that the government did not recuperate in taxes. Greece was borrowing from banks worldwide and had no way of repaying the billions of dollars owed. One might even trace the issues further back to 2001 when Greece joined the euro zone. The policy-makers misreported the real level of public borrowing so that Greece could meet the euro zone’s entry guidelines. As a result, the euro offered significantly lower interest rates than the drachma, Greece’s previous currency, and the country was able to access capital at a much more favourable rate. This deception brought about an increase in the money supply to Greece and a drastic rise in wages, especially in the ever increasing public sector (Steininger).…

    There has been considerable debate surrounding whether Irish Financial Crisis is predictable or not. Those who support the Irish Financial Crisis could not be identified in advance emphasis it is irregular and uncertain. During the period from 1990 to 2007, Irish economy experienced a continuous and steady increase, with GNP growing by 5 to 15 per cent every year and the rising of employment and competitiveness significantly, Ireland went from being extremely poor to being extremely rich. According to Kelly (2010 ,P2), among this period, the Ireland’s economy really was among the best performing in the world. However, Irish economy finally collapsed overnight in late September 2008. Some people argue that there is no relevant evidence reveals Ireland’s economy is lifting off and will hits the bottom suddenly. Base on this view, it can clearly be seen that Irish economy collapse could be occasional and random event.…

    Compared with the worldwide financial crisis happened since 2008, the European sovereign debt crisis has been the most serious problem for the ECM. This crisis, also called “the Euro Crisis”, has been regarded as the most serious financial crisis at least since 1930s. This crisis began with the Greek fiscal crisis in the autumn of 2009, and then it evolved into the “PIIGS Crisis”—five main European countries namely Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain were not able to gain enough economic growth in order to pay their debt obligations, and this is why it’s called sovereign debt crisis. Just about half a year before, a massive unexpected bank run happened in Cyprus, which shocked the world.

    The Greek financial crisis surfaced in response to the crisis that hit the Euro-Zone and revealed structural weaknesses and chronic problems of the country. Although the Euro-Zone was hit by the crisis in the USA and was confronted with its own weaknesses, seems to have started to recover since late 2009. The Greek crisis however, that peaked that time, seems to have started influencing many Euro-Zone countries anew and threatening to jeopardize the whole euro project (Ghezzi, Pascual, 2011). Not only the Euro-Zone but the whole Europe or even the United States would be influenced by a Greek financial meltdown (De Grawe, 2010). Ben Bernanke (2012), chairman of the Federal Reserve, has stated that the Greek economic crisis could threaten the stability of the European and global economic system and political unity in Europe.…

    It has been argued that Irish Financial Crisis was unlikely to be predicted as the economy of Ireland had been in a rapid-growth tendency for over 15 years. According to Kelly (2010), the GNP of Ireland grew by 5 to 15 percent every year from 1991. Thus it seems impossible for the government, banks and borrowers to smell the danger of the financial crisis as they were accustomed to the economic condition (Kelly, 2010, p.23).…

    “The European sovereign debt crisis resulted from a combination of complex factors, including the globalization of finance; easy credit conditions during the 2002–2008 period that encouraged high-risk lending and borrowing practices; the 2007–2012 global financial crisis; international trade imbalances; real-estate bubbles that have since burst; the 2008–2012 global recession; fiscal policy choices related to government revenues and expenses; and approaches used by nations to bail out troubled banking industries and private bondholders, assuming private debt burdens or socializing losses.” [9][10]…
