Fundamentals
Greek bridge plan
Greece is seeking support for a bridge plan at the amount of EUR 10 billion. The countrys Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis will ask for additional 8 billion euros in the stock of Treasury Bills Greece is allowed, according to a government official who asked not to be identified, because the negotiations are confidential.
“The bridge must be built by fiscal policy because it’s forbidden for monetary policy to finance states,” the president of German Bundesbank, Jens Weidmann, said in Istanbul in e-mailed response to questions on Tuesday, cited by Bloomberg. “The question of a bridge loan via T-bills has as a precondition, in my view, that it’s not a bridge to nowhere.”
At the same time, Germanys Chancellor Angela Merkel said in Washington on Monday that Greek talks should be based on the existing aid programs. “I’m waiting for Greece to come forward with a viable recommendation and then we’ll talk about it”, Angela Merkel noted.
The Eurogroup is to hold an emergency meeting today.
