財政上の markets c alculate there is an 80 per cent chance of Greece defaulting on its 貸付金s in some form, 知事 of the Bank of England Mervyn King said today.

Contingency 計画（する）s are therefore 存在 drawn up to help shore up our 財政上の system in the event Athens defaults, though King 辞退するd to 明らかにする／漏らす any 詳細（に述べる）s to the 財務省 Select 委員会.

The 負債 危機 is the biggest 問題／発行する 影響する／感情ing UK 財政上の 安定 in the 近づく 未来, the Bank has 警告するd, and called on banks to come clean about their direct and indirect （危険などに）さらす to the 危機.

Sir Mervyn said: 'There's 十分な 関心 in the market about a default for us to think carefully about contingency 計画（する）s and the consequences of such an event.'???? ?

He 追加するd the 政府's ability to lend more money to banks in the event of a banking 危機 was far superior to that in place before the 財政上の 危機 and it could quickly raise money through 正規の／正選手 社債 sales.?

UK banks have 極小の （危険などに）さらす to the Greek 危機 but may have 貸付金d money to other banks, 特に in フラン and Germany, which may be more 厳しく 影響する／感情d by a default. There was a danger of a loss of 信用／信任 in the European banking system while 不確定 surrounded the market, King 追加するd.

He also said that giving Greece another bailout could buy it more time but would not solve its problems, which 需要・要求するd it 取り組む its 予算 赤字.

一方／合間, a fresh wave of 暴動ing today 攻撃する，衝突する Athens today. The Greek 議会 was 包囲するd by 抗議する人s joining a general strike to …に反対する new 緊縮 対策.

With the economy already on its 膝s, 労働者s across the country walked out at the start of 48 hours of 産業の 活動／戦闘. That 許すd thousands the day off to 決起大会／結集させる in Syntagma Square 近づく the 議会 in Athens, where they called for the return of the drachma, banged 派手に宣伝するs and sang anti-EU スローガンs.

The Bank of England has said インフレーション is likely to stay above 的 for two years as it is 押し進めるd 上向きs by higher 商品／必需品s and 輸入する prices but will come 支援する to 的 again. The squeeze in 消費者 spending, which has led to a 無分別な of 小売 chains going into 行政 in 最近の days, is 予定 to continue for the foreseeable 未来 as 給料 fail to keep up with インフレーション.

But Sir Mervyn said 最近の 恐れるs that the number of home repossessions would 増加する when 利益／興味 率s rise were likely to have been '誇張するd' because there would be a 延期する before they were passed on and they would probably not rise by as much as the bank 率.

He was speaking after Richard Banks, the 長，率いる of UK 資産 決意／決議, 警告するd of a '津波' of repossessions when the bank 率 rises.
