UK draws up contingency plan as Bank of Greece warns of 'uncontrollable crisis'

UK draws up contingency plan as Bank of Greece warns of 'uncontrollable crisis' - live updates | Business | The Guardian:

In a new report, the Bank of Greece warned that the country’s membership of the European Union, as well as the eurozone currency bloc, is now at stake.

It said:

Failure to reach an agreement would....mark the beginning of a painful course that would lead initially to a Greek default and ultimately to the country’s exit from the euro area and – most likely – from the European Union.

A manageable debt crisis, as the one that we are currently addressing with the help of our partners, would snowball into an uncontrollable crisis, with great risks for the banking system and financial stability. An exit from the euro would only compound the already adverse environment, as the ensuing acute exchange rate crisis would send inflation soaring.
