Francesc Riverola,
Hi everyone
Continuing concerns about the impact on global growth of the Euro Zone debt crisis left its toll in last week’s FXstreet.com numbers once again.
Tony Barber was reporting today in his Financial Times blog: “The RBS economists estimate that the total amount of debt issued by public and private sector institutions in Greece, Portugal and Spain that is held by financial institutions outside these three countries is roughly €2,000bn. This is a staggeringly large figure, equivalent to about 22 per cent of the eurozone’s gross domestic product. It is far higher than previous published estimates. It indicates that, if a Greek or Portuguese or Spanish debt default were allowed to take place, the global financial system could suffer terrible damage.”
This continuing concern drove the site to reach more than 55k unique visitors, 100k visits and 285k page views for three days in a week, something never seen before.
The consecuence was that the site touched new highs for both visits and page views, leaving them at 544,115 visits and 1,547,000 page views, while unique visitors stayed 3k below highs at 185,200.
