Soros sees new global financial crisis brewing, EU under threat

Soros: ‘The next crisis is coming from the opposite direction.’

BRUSSELS: A surging dollar and a capital flight from emerging markets may lead to another “major” financial crisis, investor George Soros (pic) said, warning the European Union that it’s facing an imminent existential threat.

The “termination” of the nuclear deal with Iran and the “destruction” of the transatlantic alliance between the EU and the US are “bound to have a negative effect on the European economy and cause other dislocations”, including a devaluing of emerging-market currencies, Soros said in a speech in Paris.
