Date 10/12/2015

This shows that Europe’s “cash for reform” model – which the ESM implements – works. Four of the five programme countries have success stories to tell. Greece is hoping to join that group, and has embarked on a new programme. The country can succeed, but only if it sticks to its plans to overhaul its economy, and to put it on a modern footing.
