According to Munchau:
1. If Greece defaults on its ‘official-sector’ debt, France and Germany will lose €160 billion.
2. If Greece had said YES, Greece would have suffered a drop in GDP of 12.6 % over four years.
AND, the Greek debt-to-GDP ratio would approach 200 %.
3. By voting NO, Greece can get get rid of certain ‘lunatic’ fiscal adjustments.
4. Three quarters of Greece’s GDP is domestic.
The other quarter is mainly tourism, which would gain from devaluation.
5. With a NO vote, after the initial chaos subsides the economy should recover quickly.
