EUROPE
The economics of parallel currenciesBruegel
As Greece faces a severe shortage of euros, the idea of introducing a parallel currency used for some domestic transactions – while keeping the euro in place for existing bank deposits and for foreign transactions – has made a comeback.  Although historical examples of parallel currencies exist, the analysis of the idea remains in its infancy. It remains unclear whether and how one could find the right mechanics.

How to Default on Sovereign DebtProject Syndicate
The financial brinkmanship over Greece’s debts has raised the question of whether (or when) the country will default on its sovereign debt. As Greek officials consider their options, they would do well to bear in mind that there are better and worse ways to default.

FX UpdateTF
The Reserve Bank of Australia was rather downbeat in its statement, but perhaps the lack of explicit rate cut talk saw AUD backing up from its lows against the USD. Elsewhere, USDJPY just managed to touch 125.00 before backing off on uncertainty ahead of the key US data points through the end of this week.

From the FloorTF
The Greek talks head down to the wire with all manner of rumours circulating about their content. Is there a deal? Will Syriza accept it? Will there ever be any resolution to what Saxo FX head John Hardy calls an "incredibly tiresome" situation? Only time (and maybe Twitter) will tell.

Vesa Varhee: Viinasen–Ahon jäljilleTalSa
Kolumni Historia näyttää toistavan itseään. Kuten vuonna 1991, Suomi saa verraten kokemattoman keskustalaisen pääministerin, jonka hallitus joutuu siivoamaan kokoomuslaisen pääministerin kabinetin jättämää sotkua. Kukkaron nyörejä pitelee, sosiaalidemokraatin jälkeen, kokoomuslainen valtiovarainministeri. Kuten tuolloinkin, edessä on matokuuri kilpailukykynsä hukanneen talouden tervehdyttämiseksi.
