If those countries had defaulted, it would have been worse than the financial crisis. Banks, the primary holders of sovereign debt, would face huge losses, and smaller ones would have collapsed. In a panic, they'd cut back on lending to each other, and the Libor rate would skyrocket like it did in The ECB held a lot of sovereign debt; default would have jeopardized its future, and threatened the survival of the EU itself, as uncontrolled sovereign debt could result in a recession or global depression.
It could have been worse than the sovereign debt crisis. When Russia defaulted, other emerging market countries did too, but not developed markets. Germany, France, and the U. There would be little political appetite to add to that debt to fund the massive bailouts needed.
Investors worried that austerity measures would only slow any economic rebound, and debtor countries need that growth to repay their debts.

Replacing the Stability and Growth Pact. The euro-zone division between a single, federal monetary system and separate national fiscal systems is troublesome. Ireland and Spain were already seriously affected by the Great Recession, a severe sovereign debt crisis started when the Greek government was no longer able to finance its debt on the markets in Strong reliance in peripheral countries on external capital and interlinkages between governments and banks worsened these problems.
As intra-eurozone capital flows fell sharply, the peripheral countries were confronted with a sudden stop of capital inflows and a strong tightening of financial conditions for sovereigns, banks, companies and households. Below we discuss how euro membership has had an impact on the crisis response. The ECB played a crucial role in the crisis response. From the start of the crisis, particularly through its longer-term refinancing operations LTRO programs, the ECB mitigated the negative effects of rapidly reversing cross-border private capital flows.
Growing divergence in Target II balances within the Eurosystem substituting for private intra-eurozone loans reflected this assistance. By providing cheap credit the ECB has thus saved the banking sectors in, and thereby the economies of, the crisis-hit countries from a collapse.
Other eurozone member states also benefitted, as a collapse would have had a severe, and possibly fatal, impact on the monetary union as a whole Rabobank, Access to other sources of finance was more constrained. Financial support packages in the form of official intra-eurozone and IMF-loans [1] also helped accommodate the balance of payments, banking and sovereign debt crises that the peripheral countries fell prey to.
As a result, most crisis countries and governments gradually regained market access. In contrast to more regular, politically integrated currency areas, due to the limited size of the budget of the European Commission and the fact that support was given in the form of loans and not grants, the size of fiscal transfers within the euro area was and is very small. This made the adjustment process for peripheral eurozone members more difficult.
