Greece Debt Crisis: Breaking News

Greece Debt Crisis: Sarkozy Says Europe Will Help Greece During Meeting With Georges Papandreou
PARIS — Speculators beware: The euro zone’s biggest powers will back Greece through the debt crisis that has jeopardized all 16 nations in the common currency, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Sunday. Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, in Paris as part of a four-city tour seeking firmer EU and U.S. support for new austerity measures to rein in its massive budget gap, received from Sarkozy the most outspoken support for his plans yet. The French leader, coveting the chance to play the statesman with regional French elections to begin next Sunday, issued a warning to traders who would bet against the euro zone’s willingness to defend a member state. And in a show of high-stakes poker with speculators, he purposely didn’t detail what measures the bloc might take. Papandreou’s government has committed to a severe austerity plan to reduce Greece’s massive 12.7 percent budget deficit, and has warned that going to the International Monetary Fund is an option if a European solution is not found. “The Greek government … took the measures asked of it. Euro zone states must now be ready to take theirs,” Sarkozy told a news conference alongside Papandreou at the French presidential palace. “Of course, the future of Greece is in question, but it’s also that of Europe being played out,” Sarkozy said. “Europeans have created a common currency – all the countries that share this currency must show solidarity.” Sarkozy, who along with German Chancellor Angela Merkel is seeking to calm markets and bring down Greece’s high borrowing costs, didn’t spell out any specific ideas. “Concrete, precise methods exist – ones we don’t need to communicate about tonight, certainly not,” he said.

Greece not looking for EU handouts with debt crisis, says Papandreou
But prime minister says if country is to avoid a bailout it needs political backing of other EU nationsThe Greek prime minister, George Papandreou, insisted today that his country was not looking for EU “handouts” to solve its debt crisis.But he said that to avoid succumbing to a bailout the country needed the political backing of other EU nations to restore credibility with investors. “Let us [sit down] with the EU authorities, the commission and the European Central Bank, let’s look at our progress and how we are doing with the stability and growth plan we have tabled,” he said. “[Let us] show you that what we are saying is being implemented.”In an interview on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show, he said the key to the country’s economic recovery was being able to borrow money at the same rates as other countries. “We need the help so that we can borrow at the same rate as other countries, not at high rates which undermine our ability to make the changes we need to make [to Greece's deficit].”Greece insists it can tackle its €300bn (£260bn) debt alone, but concerns over its ability to do so have weighed on the euro. It needs to raise some €54bn this year to cover its budget shortfall and a report in the German magazine Der Spiegel claimed the finance ministry plans to ask eurozone countries for a €25bn aid package.Papandreou’s socialist government says it will cut the public deficit, which accounted for 12.7% of GDP at the end of 2009 ” more than four times the level allowed under EU rules ” by 4% this year, with a goal of bringing it under 3% by 2012. Papandreou did not comment on the specifics of the government’s plans but said it could be anything from a “guarantee” from Brussels to finding other ways of borrowing money.
