Orphanides Tells Reuters That Greek Debt Restructuring is Not Inevitable
Fears of Greece restructuring its debt are exaggerated, European Central Bank΄s Athanasios Orphanides told Reuters in an interview published Monday.
"In my view, it is incorrect to suggest that restructuring is inevitable," the Cypriot central banker said.
"It is very simplistic because it does not take into account the strong, long-term potential for growth that could be realized in the Greek economy as a result of the structural adjustments that are taking place right now," he added.
"Increased growth on its own would significantly reduce the projected debt to GDP ratios and make them less daunting than they appear to some analysts right now," Orphanides said.
"It is on the basis of this unrealised potential and the prospect that it could be realised if the structural reforms are implemented correctly that makes me optimistic that there is no need for even considering restructuring," he stressed.
