This week, in an interview with the BBC, World Bank chief Robert Zoellick warned that European leaders should stop looking for a panacea for the eurozone problems. Recently, analysts have been speculating that "cash-rich countries", such as China or Brazil, could be interested in buying European bonds and in helping to bail out the "cash-strapped countries", such as Greece and Italy, but Zoellick rejected the suggestion. "[T]he idea that you are going to have the Chinese come with a bag of gold and bail everybody out of this problem, I wouldn't hold my breath," he said.
