  • Statement By The President Of The Eurogroup, Jean-Claude Juncker - Greece

    Date 01/03/2012

    The Eurogroup welcomes the assessment of the Troika that Greece has made sufficient progress in completing the agreed prior actions.

Ministers note with satisfaction that Greece thereby undertook decisive and swift legislative action in the areas of fiscal consolidation, revenue administration, pension reform, financial sector regulation and supervision and growth-enhancing structural reforms. This will allow the Greek adjustment effort to regain momentum, which – together with a rigorous implementation of the agreed policy package for the new programme - constitutes the basis for putting the public finances and the economy of Greece back on a sustainable path.  The Troika will finalise in the next few days the detailed assessment of the quality of the transposition of prior actions in Greek legislation.
