Greece wins the approval of the Monetary Fund International for a payment of 3.2 billion euro ($4.6 billion) under a joint loan with the European Union, time-saving the second package of rescue craft policy and avoid the first sovereign default in the euro area.
Greek to secure the loan are "of the important results," Director General of the IMF Christine Lagarde, said yesterday in the Washington Declaration. Again, "a durable budgetary adjustment is necessary, fear that the deficit at a high level of non-viable manner and improve the productivity of reforms should be accelerated, fear that growth fail to recover."
The decision follows the approval of the week last by the Finance Ministers to unblock of EUR 8.7 billion European that talks are continuing on how to include banks and insurers in a new package of the Greece, which can return the year in international financial markets next because of the outbreak of the borrowing costs. The option to engage the private sector has been criticized by the European Central Bank because it could trigger a partial default.
"Greece debt sustainability depends on critical timely and vigorous implementation of the programme of adaptation, with no margin for landslide and support European partners and the involvement of the private sector," said Lagarde.
The IMF, including the loan to the Greece under the original package 110 billion joint euro is the second largest in Fund history, has not publicly discussed his participation in a second rescue plan.
Instead officials such as John Lipsky, acting Director General until Lagarde has taken the lead, this week, focused on the measures necessary for the approved payment yesterday. This included sale of the property of the Government and the insurance that the funding gap left by the failure of the Greece to return to the markets of the next year will be filled.
Passage of the Greek Parliament of further reductions in budget last week gave eurozone governments political cover to release the funds.
Outlook to turn them into reality, the Act of saving are overshadowed by a lack of support from the opposition and public hostility in fighting between the rioters and tear gas - police spraying before the Parliament in Athens last week.
Lagarde said of the Government to sell 50 billion euros of assets by 2015 is a "critical step" in reducing the debt and the growth of seduction.
While the target "is very ambitious, the creation of an independent privatization agency should help to achieve the implementation transparently and in a timely manner," she said.
The Greece received bailout in May 2010, seven months after the country raised its estimated budget deficit of nearly 13% of the gross domestic product, three times higher than earlier forecasts and four times the EU limit. Investor concern about the capacity of the Greece to repay its debt has roiled markets and cause contagion in other countries of the euro area, forcing the Ireland and the Portugal seeking rescues as well.
Greek debt, already at a record in Europe of 142,8% of gross domestic product, is set to rise to 166.1% next year, the forecast of the EU. Efforts to reduce the budget deficit which is about 10% of the GDP dug a third year of recession.
Double disbursements will help Greece roll on approximately EUR 4 billion of bills of maturation from July 15 to July 22, plus approximately 3 billion euros of coupon payments in the month, according to Bloomberg calculations. A test of the largest threat 20 August when 6.6 billion euros of bonds come due.
The Greece, stated by the IMF to be "on the track" in February, turned off the coast of course in April with the disclosure of 2010 more-than-expected deficit, forcing the Government of Prime Minister George Papandreou twist this year budget in additional savings.
