This is the result of the first survey on the new sentix Euro break-up risk index. 56% of the survey participants expect therefore at least the outlet of at least one country from the euro zone within the next 12 months! The survey involved nearly 1,000 investors from home and abroad. The probability of leaving the euro zone estimated here by private and institutional participants are very similar.

Greece "top candidate"

On the question which country is most likely to leave the euro zone, the participants - not surprisingly - answer very clear:88.9% expect Greece as the top exit candidate. Other countries are playing in the eyes of investors as an outlet candidates currently only a minor role. The two exceptions: Germany and Spain!

With 1.25%, the exit probability for Spain is even slightly higher than that of Portugal (1%). Considerably higher is the estimated probability for an exit of Germany (5.25%). Here have mainly the private investors a clear preference.

The sentix Euro break-up Risk Index is now collected weekly. The latest results are published at http://ebr.sentix.co.uk

sentix starts the publication of a Euro break-up risk indicator

How do private and institutional investors think about the existence and stability of the euro zone? Which country is the biggest wobble candidate? These are just two of several issues that investors have to deal with since since the euro debt crisis became a dominant market factor.

The new sentix poll on the stability of the Euro zone amongst almost 4.000 investors starts on June 22th, 2012. The survey results provide new indicators that show whether and how many investors expect a break of the euro zone and which countries are particularly in focus.

The results will be reported by sentix on the following Monday on the internet (http://ebr.sentix.co.uk) (first time on June 25th, 2012)!

In addition all active participants will have access to the data and charts of this new indicator group in sentix My sentix portal (available from July 1st, 2012).
