[01] A timely deal on Greek debt will open the way for investments,
says FinMin Tsakalotos
Achieving a timely agreement with Greece's lenders on the country's debt
will open the way for attracting new investments, Finance Minister Euclid
Tsakalotos told a delegation of the European Parliament's Economic and
Monetary Affairs Committee (ECON) who are visiting Athens on Wednesday.
The meeting, which was also attended by Alternate Finance Minister
Giorgos Chouliarakis, focused on Greece's ongoing negotiations with the
institutions and the conclusion of the first program review.
The two ministers noted, among other issues, that reforms in the pension
system will serve the government's short-term and long-term goals, while
restructuring public costs in the next few years is also a main target.
Tsakalotos also said that for Greece to turn a page, it's important for
the country's creditors to give a political signal that the government is
implementing what has been agreed. This, he added, will provide solutions
on an economic and political level.
