"If it turns out the Greeks leave, that may not
be a bad thing for the euro," Buffett told cable television
network CNBC. He said a Greek exit from the euro zone could lead
member countries to come to better agreement about fiscal
policy.
"If everybody learns that the rules mean something and if they
come to general agreement about fiscal policy among members or
something of the sort, they mean business, that could be a good
thing," Buffett said.
Buffett also said there would be no "finish line" to deals like
Kraft Foods Group Inc's announced merger with H.J. Heinz Co.
"We would hope it would not be the last major transaction,"
Buffett said. "There is no finish line."
He said that Berkshire and private equity firm 3G Capital have
not discussed other potential targets. Heinz and Kraft, backed
by Berkshire and 3G, last week said they would combine in a $46
billion deal.
