Greece Needs to Restructure Its Debt, Feld Tells Frankfurter
By Jana Randow - Jan 30, 2011 12:54 PM GMT+0100
Lars Feld, a member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s council of economic advisers, said a restructuring of Greek debt is “necessary,” Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung reported, citing an interview.
Giving Greece more time to repay its loans would be the “best solution” as creditors wouldn’t lose “too much money,” Feld was quoted as saying. Europe needs an insolvency mechanism for states, he said.
“We can’t save half the euro area without consequences on our own refinancing costs,” Feld said. The recent increase in German borrowing costs is an “alarm,” he added.
