That is not true. If you look on the actual German imports to Latvia, there will be cookies, cofee, milk powder, and very few cars. Actually Latvia is a net car exporter because of repossessed cars sold to Germany.

“others leaving the EUR zone is a solution by far not favoured also by big influential EUR countries as Germany and France. Because their large surpluses from trade in EU are directly dependent on others inability to regain competitiviness by currency depreciation.”

But they won’t export much to countries in a long depression either.

Edward,
why do you favor devaluation for the Baltic states, yet advice Spain and Greece to stay in the currency union? Indeed for Spain and Greece the problem of debt in a foreign currency wouldn’t arise.

And furthermore, how is a repetition of the current situation to be avoided while a common interest rate will have to be misadjusted?

Selling to Germany will not work. For instance, in Latvia PPI started to grow in December. Others are not better.

Fully agree that countries with large intra-EU imbalances are playing a big mutual chicken game.
