So It Won't Be A Surprise When

I Am Convinced That The Public, Large Majority Of The Greek People, Realize That Policies Pursued In The Past And The Market Practices Have To Be Changed, In Order To Improve The Prospects Of The Greek Economy. So There Is, I Think, Strong Public Support Despite The Increases In Social Tensions.

Greece Could Default On Its Debts And Even Exit Currency Bloc If It Cannot Deliver Reforms.

I Am Not A Politician But I Have Dedicated The Biggest Part Of My Professional Life To Economic Policy Both In Greece And Europe.

The Government Is Determined To Continue The Process Of Fiscal Consolidation And Structural Reform In Order To Secure Sound Public Finances And Improve The Country's International Competitiveness.

I Think The Gains To Be Achieved By A Combination Of Reforms And Labor Market Adjustments Are Going To Be More Permanent And Will Provide A Basis For Reducing Unemployment And Improving Expert Performance And Sustaining Growth In A Way That Is More Sound And More Permanent.
