Economist: European Bond Spreads Widen


From The Economist:
The interest-rate spread between Germany's government bonds and those of other euro-area countries has widened sharply. The shift is most marked for countries with shaky public finances: Italy's public debt was 105% of its GDP last year; the ratio in Greece was 93%. Both countries are set to run budget deficits of 2-3% of GDP this year.
