2013 Eurozone Forecast: Why A Eurozone Breakup Is Now More Likely Than Ever

To the complete shock of several analysts, the Eurozone managed to make it through 2012 without breaking up. However, 2013 is another story. Now that Italy's Prime Minister Mario Monti has resigned, there's a good chance that Italy will be in the forefront of a new Eurozone crisis. That means 2013 doesn't look to be a good year for the euro, either-especially with new Italian elections likely to take place in February. Of course, the EU establishment hopes that Monti can remain in office, but with four very different candidates now jockeying for position, Italy is one of the continent's great question marks.
