Summary

What started as a debt crisis in Greece in late 2009 has evolved into a broader economic and political crisis in the Eurozone. The Eurozone faces four major, and related, economic challenges: (1) high debt levels and public deficits in some Eurozone countries; (2) weaknesses in the European banking system; (3) economic recession and high unemployment in some Eurozone countries; and (4) persistent trade imbalances within the Eurozone. Additionally, the Eurozone is facing a political crisis. Disagreements among Germany, France, and the European Central Bank (ECB) over the appropriate crisis response, and complex European Union (EU) policy-making processes, are seen as having exacerbated anxiety in markets. Governments in several European countries have also fallen as a direct or indirect result of the crisis. The United States has strong economic ties to Europe, and many analysts view the Eurozone crisis as the biggest potential threat to the U.S. economic recovery
