Greece Still Struggles By: Joe Kiely and Matt Galman
What’s going on • Greece is in debt and cant find there way out of it. • Countries of the Eurozone are trying to work together to support them but no solution has been made. • There have been a couple of ideas for a solution.
Solutions • There will be a government meeting in February of finance officials disscussing new fiscal controls. • The EU is cracking down on Greece’s spending with many fiscal actions. • Bonds and loans will be used to pay off the debts of Greece.
Consequece • The second bailout program will pay €130 billion yet if Greece doesn’t get this loan they will only have €14.4 billion by march 20th. • Greece will be forced to pay back the bailout with nothing less than a 4% interest rate. • If there is no solution they will have to go back to the Drakma.
Our Solution • If they want to borrow money, Greece needs to raise taxes in order to pay for government expenses, like raising salaries for workers. • Money spent also needs to be cut back so that the debt does not increase.
