Half of investors believe that Greece will leave the euro zone within a year, according to a poll conducted by German research group Sentix.

In particular, the Euro-Break up index in April is 48.3%. The research was carried out among 1,023 investors in the period 23-25 April.

This percentage is much higher in comparison with the previous month, when it was 35.5% and in fact it means that one out of two investors is reserved regarding the commitment of keeping Greece in the euro zone.

The communication of the research group states, "European politicians’ promises to pursue the scenario of Greece keeping the euro are not taken at face value by about half of all investors."

At the same time, the assessments that Athens will eventually leave the common European currency have increased the percentage rate of the Euro-Break up index in general. From 36.8% in March it has increased to 49% in April, thus reaching the level it had recorded in the culmination of the debt crisis in the euro zone in 2012.

On the other hand, the contagion risk index associated with the crisis has fallen to 26.1% which means that investors do not expect that the Greek debt crisis will affect the rest of the euro zone member states.
