Economists estimate a '30% to 40% chance of a break-up of the euro in 2012'

Daily Mail
"A majority of economists put the possibility of a eurozone break-up at 30-40 per cent in 2012, according to the results of a BBC poll - and 20 per cent even state the eurozone will not exist in its current 17-member form next year. Nearly all of those polled predicted that Europe would return to recession in the new year as the continent struggles to get to grips with its debt crisis."
