Towards conclusion of negotiation phase
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Brussels Group is moving towards the conclusion of this phase of negotiations between the Greek side and the institutions, having achieved convergence in many issues, but some issues such as labour and pension issues still remain open.
Regarding the increase of retirement age in Greece, diplomatic sources said that negotiations are focused on 2020-2015 and does not concern those who have already acquired their pension rights. On labour issues, there are still many differences between the two sides.
The negotiations between the Greek political negotiation group and the institutions will continue in Brussels on Thursday and will probably be concluded on Friday. However, the possibility of deliberations at a technical level during the weekend is not ruled out.
A teleconference of the Finance Ministers has also been scheduled for Friday. According to sources, the Eurogroup is expected to confirm the convergence achieved in several sectors.
The Athens stock exchange is riding this wave optimism with gains registered at this time at over 3% aith blue chip bank stock being heavily traded.
