Izvršni direktor Deutsche banke Josef Ackermann nakon što je nedavno iskazao zabrinutost da Grčka neće moći u potpunosti vratiti svoj dug, sada je uvjeren da će to učiniti.
- Imam puno povjerenje u premijera Papandreoua koji je poručio da će njegova zemlja učiniti sve da podmiri sve svoje obveze - rekao je čelnik najveće njemačke banke, prenosi Bloomberg.
- Grčka vlada učiniti će što je potrebno, a to su teške reforme zbog kojih će državni lideri možda morati i žrtvovati svoje političke karijere, no ne postoji alternativa - poručio je Ackermann.
Grčki premijer Papandreou je kazao da njegova zemlja zna cijeniti pomoć svojih europskih partnera.
- Da, vratit ćemo naše dugove, a također ćemo donijeti niz zakona kojima ćemo smanjiti glomazni birokratski sustav, smanjiti korupciju i ohrabriti strane investicije - naglasio je Papandreou.
On Thursday (10 lipanj), European Central Bank head Jean-Claude Trichet announced that he would continue the ECB\'s low interest rates (1 percent) and easy lending policies for the foreseeable future. Wall Street rallied on the news sending shares skyrocketing 273 points on the day. Trichet also said that he would continue his controversial bond-purchasing program which has drawn fire from wary German leaders who fear the onset of inflation. The bank chief adroitly dodged questions on the program suggesting that he will operate secretively like the Fed, buying up downgraded assets and concealing their original owner. By appointing himself the de facto Fiscal Czar of the European Union, Trichet has stopped the fall of the euro, scattered the short-sellers, and zapped the markets upward. Not bad for a day\'s work. . . Trichet\'s actions have nothing to do with the so-called \"monetary-policy transmission mechanism\". They\'re a straightforward bailout of banks which invested in sovereign bonds that are steadily losing value. Greece has already received loans that will cover its funding needs through 2012. Trichet\'s bond buying-spree and lavish liquidity provisions are a lifeline to his banking brethren who are trying desperately to keep their chestnuts out of the fire. The ECB boss is merely helping them shunt their losses onto the public\'s balance sheet, like Bernanke has done in the US. . . Dakle, kome sve to koristi?, ........ građanima europe ili (privatnim) bankama, ... stim da će opet na kraju doći računi na naplatu ...... poreznim obveznicima ....
