"It is important to make a clear distinction between individual countries; Spain isn't insolvent! Italy isn't insolvent!," El-Erian told the newspaper. "If Spain can convince investors that it is making progress in restructuring its banks, it won't need external help."El-Erian also said European governments should boost their rescue fund prior to asking the international community for financial support. He noted that loans by the International Monetary Fund to Portugal, Greece and Ireland already account for more than 60% of all loans provided by the fund.He also said the euro zone must take a clear decision on where it's heading in order to prevent a break-up of the currency union.Pimco is a subsidiary of Allianz SE (ALV.XE).Copyright © 2012 Dow Jo...U.S. House Speaker John Boehner broke off talks with President Barack Obama on Friday on a deficit-reduction deal to prevent a devastating default, derailing efforts...
