In addition, we still have some way to go in order for Greece to tap the financial market on sustainable terms after the end of the current programme in August 2018. To this end, the Greek authorities must pursue the remaining reforms forcefully and close the 3rd review before the end of the year, in order to improve the credit rating of the country.
At the same time our European partners should specify in more detail the medium-term debt reprofiling measures according to the Eurogroup agreement and, in close cooperation with the Greek authorities, provide more clarity on the post-programme support for the Greek economy. These actions will improve the investment climate and attract foreign direct investment.
