CNBC has some interesting figures on a recent poll in Italy: Majority of Italians No Longer Trust the Euro
· 65% of those polled thought the introduction of the euro has been more damaging than beneficial for the Italian economy
· 55% percent of Italians have lost confidence in the euro single currency
· Confidence in the European Union stood at 51%, the lowest level in many years
· 31% said they would prefer a return to the lira
The last bullet point is the odd man out. Expect to see that number rise as Italy heads into a massive recession.
