While the report says a deep recession was unavoidable, it is critical of senior officials in Brussels and European capitals who said Greece would fare better outside the euro. Concerns that Greece could be ejected from the euro and return to the drachma intensified an already febrile situation."Confidence was also badly affected by domestic social and political turmoil and talk of a Greek exit from the euro by European policymakers," it said.Brussels also struggled to co-ordinate its policies with the ECB in Frankfurt, according to the report."The Fund made decisions in a structured fashion, while decision-making in the eurozone spanned heads of state and multiple agencies and was more fragmented."The Greek media recently quoted IMF managing director Christine Lagarde describing 2011 as a "lost year" partly because of miscalculations by the EU and IMF.The authoritative Kathimerini newspaper said the report identified a number of "mistakes" including the failure of creditors to agree to a restructuring of Greece's debt burden earlier - a failure that had had a disastrous effect on its macroeconomic assumptions.
Scotland votes on Independence this year, correct, @String? Also, I am considering a short vacation to Europe in the coming months. Beware, fellow European DnD'ers! :trollface:

Back from Canada already!

From an anthropological point of view, there is one major concern - the "people in Kiruna who are stuck in old memories", as Walldin puts it."You have to find a way to both respect the memories and take care of the people who have been living in limbo in this city for over a decade," she says. "People who had their first kiss on that bench or their first child in that hospital will now see these things totally disappear."Before anyone can move, LKAB has to buy their existing property, so that they can buy a new one in the new town. But the sums are nightmarish."The general idea is for LKAB to purchase people's homes from them at market value plus 25%, and then sell them a property in the new city," says Stenqvist. "But how do you work out what the market value is for a house in a city that doesn't even exist?"
Kiruna is going on. Formerly the world's largest city is moving.
