“After the decisions of the last Eurogroup for the adoption of the new support program of the Greek economy and the official launch of PSI, we are waiting for the response of the market.

As you know, the concrete form of the bond exchange is agreed with the private sector and everybody understands very well that we have four very important and attractive elements: 

The Co-financing, the English law, the sweetener in cash and the GDP warrants. This is a very good, a unique offer. I am sure that the market understands very well how clear is my message”.
