Troubled Troika: Europe Intent on Saving Greece Despite Lag in Reforms
Greece's creditors have been less than impressed with the country's willingness and ability to carry out much needed reforms. But Europe is likely to continue supporting the country anyway -- out of fear of the consequences should the country go bankrupt.

which bit of the Troika was the source of this?
"Antonis Manitakis, a former professor of constitutional law and now the country's minister for administrative reform, has an office on upscale Vassilis Sofias Street. The international envoys like him and he is one of the politicians on whom they are pinning their hopes"
Meanwhile, back in Greece, the Troika are apparently locked in bitter argument with Minister Manitakis about the failings of the numbers for administrative reform. Source: Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012...locked-lenders This is all very, very wierd. At a guess, the positive spin came from the European Commission bit of the Troika. They're the "good guy", with the IMF playing "bad guy". I don't know if it confuses the greek government, but it certainly confuses me ... |
