GREECE CRISIS 2011

Greece Crisis Greece must continue on the path of reform - refurbished economic structure is essential to restore growth, competitiveness along with an austerity drive to restore the budget to a primary surplus. Stepping up reform in Greece accompanied by a strategy to reduce interest payment and stabilize domestic demand. In some areas progress seems to have been inadequate so far. Therefore a program for Greece should include (a) still greater reform efforts, above all on the privatization front. (b) Voluntary buyback of Greek bonds spiced with a partial guarantee from the EFSF. (c) Insurance of new bonds covered by premiums to the ESFS (d) together with the EU, Greece should map out a long-term investment program for pivotal sectors such as energy, transport and tourism. Front loaded investment spending could help to stabilize internal demand. A revitalized Greek economy will turn the tide. The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.
