Half of investors expect Greece to exit eurozone

Around half of investors expect Greece to leave the eurozone within the next 12 months, a survey by German research group Sentix showed yesterday.

Sentix’s eurozone break-up index for Greece shot up to 48.3% in April from 35.5% in March, suggesting one in two investors is sceptical about pledges to keep Athens in the single currency bloc.

“European politicians’ promises to pursue the scenario of Greece keeping the euro are not taken at face value by about half of all investors,” Sentix said in a statement.
