Re: Electronic money (none / 1)

Still this presupposes that they make it to June. They'll have to fight the notTroika every step of the way. Have they even gotten a single cent yet? Of course it doesn't get easier to provoke a crisis once the can is bouncing down the road and the ECB governing council will probably be less hostile to Greece in another rotation. When was the timing for those rotations decided anyway?

Also we shouldn't forget that the Eurogroup's record of keeping to its commitments is less than stellar.

The rotation was decided in September.

Re: Electronic money (4.00 / 2)

Who says June says April. The first order of business is to get past the liquidity crunch in mid-March. But they can already start legislating and implementing parts of their program. It will be interesting to see which are the first parts of the agreement that they implement.
