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. We must strict to the original plan.

The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the environment as war causes severe or long term damage to the environment. The fact here is that there is a number of international doc...
