[01] PM Tsipras: Only if we join forces can we succeed
"I deeply believe that the only way to overcome the crisis is to support
the weakest ones and at the same time give the chance to restart
the economy. We can only succeed if we join forces," Prime Minister
Alexis Tsipras on Monday said in his address at the presentation of
the Act4Greece Program of the National Bank of Greece (NBG).
"The government, the public and the private sector as well as other
entities should assist the country get out of the crisis with the society
remaining unwounded," Tsipras stated adding that it is necessary to
unite forces and give banks the opportunity to play again their social
and economic role. Tsipras also stressed the need for consolidation
in the banking system in order to help end the crisis by improving
liquidity and financing for startups. He noted that the completion of
the recapitalization process opens the way for the return of deposits
and the efficient management of their portfolios, and referred to the
importance of a positive program review that will pave the way for
solving the Gordian knot, which is the debt relief.
Tsipras underlined that the government proceeds with the creation of a
stable tax system, introducing and promoting electronic transactions,
improving the efficiency of public administration, simplifying licensing
procedures, and improving the procedures for public procurement. He also
referred to the national productive reconstruction plan that will be
presented in the spring and noted that focus will be given on halting the
disinvestment climate that led to deep recession in the previous years.
