A Finn Markka For The Euro

Finland mulls over its Eurozone future .......so it appears that at least one of the Euro-zones better economies, Finland, is considering returning to its original currency ... the Markka after becoming disillusioned by membership of the Eurozone. The calls for change are being led by fast rising the Finns Party (Perussuomalaiset), who are fed up of subsidising the weaker economies of southern Europe.

So if these economies won't leave the Eurozone, then they say that Finland should do so .....

Finnish Markka Making A Comeback?
Markka Making A Comeback?

Sadly, the reality is that despite around 20% of the Finns supporting this stance, the Finns are unlikely to be the first to abandon the Euro, but its interesting to note that the crisis is now making the question an open one, in countries such as Finland and Holland.
