IMF zaait weer twijfel Griekse redding

20 03 12 - 20:41

De ene week wordt een paraaf gezet onder de bailout van 130 miljard euro, de volgende week verschijnt een IMF-rapport waarin betwijfelt wordt of Griekenland het redt. In het 231-pagina’s tellende stuk staat dat 12 miljard extra bezuinigingen nodig zijn om de begrotingstargets van 2013 en 2014 te halen. Ook wordt gewaarschuwd dat financiële steun elk moment kan worden ingetrokken. De Griekse schuldenlast wordt letterlijk 'vrijwel zeker onhoudbaar' genoemd.

Uit het IMF rapport:
Given the time needed for the programme to work and for the [debt] trajectory to become self-sustaining, and given the significant uncertainties including risks to the evolution of growth and economy-wide prices, it is difficult to categorically affirm that debt is sustainable with high probability.

The [IMF’s assent] is based on ambitious fiscal and privatisation targets and above all on reinvigoration of structural reforms. These will stretch the social fabric and the political determination to confront vested interests, but there is no room for slippage. In the event of slower progress in policy implementation, or failure of the economy to respond rapidly enough to reforms, completion of reviews may require additional support from Greece’s European partners on yet more concessional terms than currently envisaged, and/or another restructuring of bonded debt. In that case, and especially in light of the extra adjustment burden Greece is bearing, euro area member states and the ECB should stand ready to put in place the guarantees and assurances needed for Greece to maintain access to liquidity support from the Eurosystem.

'Impasse EU over bankenunie'

Van weekblad Der Spiegel: European leaders had hoped to quickly finalize plans for an EU banking union to regulate bank bailouts and provide a roadmap for unwinding insolvent financial institutions. But with the German election looming, Berlin is wary of moving forward. The result could be a lengthy delay.
