An interesting gaffe occurred recently as Bloomberg jumped the gun and began listing the Greek Drachma available for trading. Greece has been heavily speculated to abandon the Euro but a revival of the Drachma is far from fruition. RT further explains the embarrassing “internal function”:
“Traders around the world have been staring at their Bloomberg screens, hardly believing their eyes. The electronic information platform has been showing details for possible Greek Drachma trading.
The Bloomberg helpdesk described it as ‘an internal function which is set up to test.’
The news comes in the wake of the heated discussions over the future of the euro zone and the membership of Greece. While many experts insist that Greece should leave the Euro and default, some suggest it should remain the union and introduce a parallel currency to the Euro to repay the country’s debt.”
