Greece's new risk of failure
While
the government greek is laboriously making the path of reform, the
third bailout of the Hellenic country should start within thirty days. For funding but there are concrete problems, the most important is just who will be the lenders. Everything is related to the problem of problems: the debt greek; without
resolving this issue, despite the agreement, Greece is likely to be
back in the uncertain conditions that were present before the signing,
with the result to affect the balance, however, very uncertain, the
country and bring it back to risk failure. The
opinion of economists is unanimous, if Greece is not granted a way to
ease the burden of debt incurred to date and interest, will be
mathematically impossible to trigger the process of growth necessary to
make up the gross domestic product. What
would be important is to try to reduce the ratio of debt to gross
domestic product, which is set to exceed 200 percent in the two years to
come. To
agree with the students of economics, which are not only Greeks but of
the whole world, there are two important players: the International
Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank. The
attitude of these two subjects is relatively more benevolent towards
Greece, conversely, the European Union, led by Germany, which is of the
same opinion, interprets the need to Athens in a totally negative. The
matter is that according to analysts of the International Monetary
Fund, so that Athens has benefits to rescue plans, must have for about
thirty years, the suspension of payment of debts, including those not
yet delivered, which means the clear unsustainability of debt greek. This admission of the International Monetary Fund can be interpreted in two ways, which are not necessarily mutually exclusive. The
first is, of course, the acknowledgment of a situation that does not
seem reversible and requires a completely different approach from all
those carried out until now, the second is that you want to highlight
the inability of the International Monetary Fund participate in the financial contribution of the new aid. In fact, if a country is insolvent, as is the case of Athens, the IMF can not lend; in reality this rule has already been violated in the first bailout, that of 2010; but now this situation will repeat itself. Basically
without a cut debt greek the International Monetary Fund will remain
only a spectator of the evolution of the Greek situation, without
providing any input. The
European Union, however, referring to the Treaty of Lisbon, which
prevents the acceding countries to take at their own expense debts of
other nations. Substantially
the greek debt can not be reduced, certainly you can lengthen the
maturities or studying other instruments, but the substance remains that
the debt situation is not compressible. This
leads to a deadlock situation: without debt relief the IMF is adamant,
but from the opposite side, the European Union is not prepared to reduce
the debt of Greece. The
total loan that Athens must now fund amounts to 86 billion Euros, of
which 20 should be provided by the International Monetary Fund, share,
at the time, is definitely not available. Berlin
does not seem willing to move forward in the aid plan without the
International Monetary Fund and with these conditions the most likely
solution becomes again the exit from the euro zone. The
suspicion is that it is natural that Germany, has devised a plan
unfeasible, consistent with the will of his finance minister, who has
always said in favor of a temporary exit least of Greece from the single
currency. Now
if this were true the German behavior should be penalized, not only as a
moral, but for losses which have gone against the financial markets, to
reach a point of no conclusion. These
arguments could be made before, without becoming the center of a clash
of two completely opposite, that will only lead to further losses in the
stock markets around the world. Behind
these behaviors there is a lack of absolute seriousness, bending events
to its exclusive interests, on the one hand protection from the
phenomenon of inflation and dal'altra the will to free resources to
enhance growth. All
this without taking into account the economic and social impact that
these behaviors require, not only for Greece and Europe, but also to the
global system of finance.
