Multibill voting tonight
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The multibill with fresh measures and counter-measures will be voted in Parliament tonight.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Wednesday he is optimistic that there will be a positive result at the Eurogroup meeting on May 22, adding that after the review the country could attempt a trial return to borrowing from capital markets this summer.
He also said that after the program review is concluded, Greece will receive “a tsunami of investments”.
There has been very good preparation on a staff level regarding Greece, a senior Eurozone official said here on Wednesday, expressing hope that this will result in a comprehensive agreement that also includes Greek debt at the May 22 Eurogroup.
The same official pointed to persistent differences between the institutions and certain member-states, however, noting that the forecasts currently gave a 50-50 chance of a final agreement on Monday.
“I don’t think there is an agreement yet, but we are very close to one,” noted at our station the head of the European Commission office in Greece, Panos Karvounis.
