Global investors are becoming less confident that the deal laid down by the eurozone to bail out Greece will contain the country’s deficit.

Latest figures show that 73% of investors and analysts think that a default by debt laden Greece is likely and 40% believe that Greece will abandon the euro.

Even European Central bank President Jean-Claude Trichet came out of the poll unfavourably with 48% believing that the ECB should never have intervened with Greece, while a further 27% rating him very negatively.

In addition 60% of those questioned expect the euro to fall further against the dollar over the next three months, adding to the 17% the euro has already fallen this year.
