In his keynote speech at this week's #FXDebates event in London, Lars Seier Christensen, the co-founder and co-chief executive of Saxo Bank, 
said the euro crisis had turned into a fatal disaster with huge 
consequences for the members involved.
"I have rarely, in my 25 years career in foreign exchange, witnessed 
an equally turbulent and fascinating time," he told the audience.

Understanding fully the impact of currencies on our world and our 
investments is more necessary and relevant than ever. Used extensively 
as centrals tool in defining international trade policies and growth 
initiatives, investors need to fully grasp the implications on their 
portfolios.  

And of course, most importantly, the euro crisis has turned into a fatal disaster with huge consequences for the members involved. I have rarely, in my 25 years career in foreign exchange, witnessed an 
equally turbulent and fascinating time.
And as this is the main subject of our debate today,  let us turn to the situation in the Eurozone
Frankly, it is a complete mess. And it is a mess that gets worse and 
worse every day. Only not in Brussels. 

There we hear an endless litany 
of promises of recovery in six months time, always in six months time, 
we hear the Euro is safe, and that if just we all hand over more 
responsibility to our Masters in Brussels, everything will be just fine.
Nothing could be further from the truth. 

We have just been through 
the bailout of the fifth Euro zone country, and both Slovenia and Malta 
are queuing up to be next. When, not IF, the Troika arrive in these two 
countries, it will create to an absurd situation where nearly half of 
the Eurozone countries have been broken by their adoption of the common 
currency, the same EURO they joined with such high hopes for the future.
