The Grexit age is over as Grimbo takes over

A new word enters the Lexicon: Grexit is so 2012… the time has come to move into stagnation

Citigroup economist Ebrahim Rahbari was the one who came up with the term Grexit back in February 2012. Back then, they felt that there would be a 50% risk for Greece’s exit from the Eurozone over the coming 18 months and 90% until 2014. The use of the term rocketed in 2015, with the addition of more terms such as Grexident and Grexodus.

Rahbari developed a new word to describe Greece’s situation following his prediction for a Grexit in 2014. Now, it’s time for Grimbo (Greece in Limbo) he told Bloomberg.  Rahbari sees two scenarios for Greece. The first concerns an agreement through capital controls and a possible bankruptcy whereas the second is that of Grimbo, meaning IOUs and capital controls while Greece continues to remain in the eurozone.
