Finns may not be dreaming of a future outside the single currency, but their reluctance to help makes them a prime example of the “rescue fatigue” now afflicting much of northern Europe (including the Netherlands, which has an election of its own next month). That constraint is one reason why markets’ sunny mood about the euro crisis may not last far into the autumn.
