Latest News: Greece Debt Crisis
Greece braced for crisis meeting
A European summit will discuss whether to bail out Greece – whose crippling debts and lack of probity threaten to tip it out of the eurozone and wreck global stability..
Size of public debt catches up with Greece
¢ Value of Greek black economy estimated at 30% of GDP¢ Budget deficit at 12.7% of national income From the empty shops, to the half-full theatres, restaurants, concert halls and hotels, the signs are everywhere: economic crisis has come to Greece and it is biting hard. Nationwide, in islands and far-flung towns, the refrain is the same and it conjures the sombre mood. “People have no money,” says Yannis Barbas, the owner of a once popular but now eerily quiet taverna in Corfu. “And they are worried about the future.”Like a natural disaster, Greece’s financial tsunami has been unexpectedly swift and sudden. Despite the concern, long raised abroad, over the perilous state of the eurozone member’s public finances it has taken much longer for the same alarm to be sounded in Athens.”Our politicians like to cover things up,” said Gerasimos Papafloratos, who runs a tourist shop in the city’s historic centre. “They have failed to implement the right policies for our economy, education and health and, in the case of the last [centre-right] government, actually went out of their way to hide the scale of our debt and deficit.”Greeks know that hiding is no longer an option.
