As we go to press, the likelihood of Greece defaulting on its debts seems a certainty and the markets appear to be pricing it into their projections. The question is when will this happen and what effect it will have on other eurozone countries? But what actually happens when a country fails to honour its international loans? Martin Lousteau, who was a finance minister in Argentina when that country defaulted in the 1990s, is joined by market analyst Vikas Nath and economist Peter Antonioni to take a detailed look at what actually happens on the ground when a sovereign nations says “can’t pay: won’t pay” and examine what would happen if Ireland took this approach. This event is hosted by comedian (and former solicitor) Keith Farnan.
