Volgens de laatste berichten van de Griekse krant Kathimerini, is het IMF een nieuw reddingspakket voor het noodlijdende Griekenland aan het samenstelling!

Finance Ministry officials confirmed on Monday that there was a possibility of Greece extending the existing memorandum — the name given to an agreement signed between the government and its creditors last May — or being bound to a new pact. Sources told Kathimerini that the IMF foresees the pledging of between 80 and 100 billion euros in loans to Greece by 2013 — that is some 30 billion euros more than the loans Greece was promised in the original memorandum. Of the 110 billion euros pledged in this original pact, Greece has received 38 billion euros so far. A new memorandum would set out new goals and a time frame for the implementation of reforms and of a privatization drive that aims to raise 50 billion euros by 2015. It is expected that the government will be asked to announce another 6 to 7 billion euros’ worth of austerity measures.

Kortom, er gaat niets veranderen, ondanks de jongste berichten over een mogelijke default van Griekenland. Printen is en blijft de boodschap!
