It is obvious that the eurozone does not function during a crisis. It is not possible, under the terms of the treaty, to support countries at risk of suspending payments under the no bail-out clause, and the European Central Bank (ECB) cannot print money to finance member states' debts (monetary financing). At the same time member states cannot print their own money. A payment crisis can arise either because of a country's failure to exercise fiscal discipline and, so to speak, overdraw its account with ever-increasing budget deficits that drive up the national debt. Or a payment crisis may occur because the financial markets distrust the country which causes the risk premium and interest rates to rise so much that the situation becomes untenable. It usually is a combination of both of these causes.
