The Financial Stability Oversight Council, or FSOC, has issued its annual report.  Part of the report focuses on Potential emerging threats to U.S. financial stability.  According to the report:

•                      The euro area poses an obvious risk
•                      Dissolution of the euro would come at a great cost
•                      A systematic crisis in Europe would represent a significant risk for US financial institutions
•                      Risks could arise from uncertainty about the vigor of global growth outside Europe
