| Subject: Ukraine’s currency just collapsed 50 percent in two days Sat Feb 07, 2015 7:23 pm | |
| Ukraine, to use a technical term, is broke. That's what you call a country whose currency has lost half its value in just two days. The problem is simple: Ukraine has no money and barely any economy. It's already talking to the IMF about a $15 billion bailout and what's euphemistically being called a debt "restructuring"—i.e., default—as its reserves have dwindled down to $6.42 billion, only enough to cover five weeks of imports. (Three months worth is considered the absolute least you can get by with).
