5. Facts & observations
Greece has the highest 10 year note yield in the eurozone at 24%.
Spain and Italy while not the highest yield in Europe are a proxy
for overall Eurozone risk due to the size and diversity
of their respective economies.
The Troika (EU, ECB and IMF) overseeing Greece's bailout has mandated
that Greece cut its debt to GDP ratio to 120.5% of GDP by 2020.
On Aug 13, 2012 it was announced that Greece’s national output
shrank in the 2nd quarter by 6.2 per cent on an annual basis. The contraction
was a marginal improvement on a 6.5 per cent fall in the 1st quarter.
The Athens think-tank IOBE predicted on July 2012, that output would shrink
by 6.9 per cent this year.

8. Facts & observations
In February 2012 Greece executed the largest debt restructure
ever attempted in the Eurozone with private holders of Greek government
bonds (banks, insurers and investment funds), "voluntarily" accepting
a bond swap with a 53.5% nominal write-off.
On March 9, 2012 the International Swaps and Derivatives Association
ruled that the earlier debt restructuring constituted a "credit event"
meaning a maximum of $3.16 billion of net outstanding Greek credit
default swap contracts could be paid out and settled between counterparties.

9. Facts & observations
Spain's unemployment rate stood at 24.6% between April and June,
up from 24.4% during the previous quarter.
That's the highest level since 1976, soon after the death
of the dictator Francisco Franco, and before the country returned
to democracy.
Euro-zone unemployment currently stands at a fresh record high
of 11.2%, while the unemployment rate in the Eurozone's
largest economy of Germany rose for a fourth straight month to 6.8% in July.
