3rd Debt The third major challenge lying ahead pertains to the launch of in-depth discussions with our partners on debt relief measures. Debt relief is crucial, in both the long and the short run. For, if the Greek debt is seen as unsustainable, the country’s predicted exit to markets in 2018 will not be feasible.
Therefore talks have to begin now and conclude as soon as possible. Besides, the discussion of ways to alleviate the Greek debt is a commitment undertaken by our partners as early as in 2012, and reaffirmed last May, but not fulfilled as yet.
