The word of the day is "crexit," which was coined by Allianz Chief Economist Michael Heise. This is the idea that Greek will exit from its economic crisis this year.

However, many point to a speech given by European Central Bank president Mario Draghi as the turning point for the eurozone crisis as a whole.

"Draghi’s comments “within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro” turned sentiment and substantially reduced break-up risk," write Deutsche Banks economists.
