Raffaella Tenconi points out : “Once the cash buffer disappears, as long as Greece has a decent issuance strategy, then I think it should continue to enjoy very favorable market conditions. Keep in mind that we are now beginning to see more clearly evidence that the potential growth rate of the country (that is the rate of growth that is achievable without creating imbalances under the current circumstances) is rising and maybe approaching 2 percent. That is a very high rate in the EU together with low interest rates, it means that the sustainability of public debt has enormously improved and is among the better ones in the EU,”

Since in theory Greece has cash until 2021, we are not really booking savings right now, but the yields compression is so significantly beyond what the fiscal metrics would suggest and so rapid that indeed it should support an improvement in investment confidence and that helps the economy growth eventually perhaps at a faster rate than 2 percent”
