Broken record




dot_clear.gif
By Pantelis Boukalas


The prime minister does not get tired of repeating himself: “We are doing well, and we shall do even better,” he says every two or three days. The message is usually delivered by one of his Socialist ministers, generally against a rosy backdrop.
But if the past is any guide, these latest comforting statements will again be short-lived. The sanguine remarks by Greek government officials always seem to be annulled shortly afterward by some sobering, prophetic article in the Economist, Der Spiegel or any one of those foreign publications whose influence far exceeds the power of national governments and international organizations.
At other times, the government’s campaign to boost the nation’s morale is defeated by a downgrade from Moody’s or one of the other international rating agencies which again have more power than national governments and international organizations.
Democracy is indeed a beautiful word, and so is the concept of national sovereignty. But they seem to have lost most of their meaning.
Unable to put on a convincing face abroad, the Socialist administration is also becoming less and less convincing at home -- even among the cadres of PASOK and party supporters. George Papandreou’s administration is seriously lacking in terms of coordination. PASOK ministers fail to agree, even on television. The prime minister always uses rhetorical language to present government policies through national addresses. As a result, the PASOK administration is wasting what has traditionally been the privilege of the opposition party: time.
What are our ruling officials waiting for? Well, it depends on the minister or party official. Some, who have so far been sidelined, are eyeing a government shake-up that will push them into the Cabinet. Others would like to see a snap election to reap the rewards of any “but” they may have mumbled against the so-called memorandum. And all of them are looking forward to the Easter and summer breaks to catch their breath, because they are so stressed.
Of course the real stress is not there. Rather it is hitting those who have to make sacrifices for every revision of the memorandum, for every downgrade, for every negative article published in the Economist, for every forecast by this or that economic brainiac. Those who saw their salaries slashed so that Greece’s economy could get back on track; those who are now called upon to accept more cuts because the government made yet another miscalculation. Always with a smile. Like the smile of the prime minister as he tells us that “we are doing well.”

IMF/EU/ECB Representatives May Prolong Their Visit In Athens



Greek Finance Minister Giorgos Papakonstantinou will meet later on Wednesday with the IMF/EU/ECB representatives, who have been in constant discussions with government official since Tuesday.

Finance Minister departs on Thursday for the extraordinary meeting of Ecofin, and is expected to return on Sunday.

Troika representatives are determined to stay in Athens for as long as needed to unravel the imbroglio of measures and deficits. Today’s meeting will determine the time of their stay in Greece, which is very likely to be extended.

Government officials consider the meeting of FinMin with Troika as the most critical since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding.


The amount of €1,74b in additional measures is very likely to increase, after the new revision of the previous years’ deficit, which is not yet completed.

The medium-term package of €22b revenue measures and the €50b privatization program should be finalized soon.

In a meeting with the Special Secretary for Privatization G. Christodoulakis on Tuesday, Troika asked for explanations about the planning of 2011 and the new program, which has been already prepared at the technical level, but no crucial political decisions have been made.

They also met with the Special Secretary for Public Enterprises and Entities, G. Kyriakos, who is requires to achieve a major spending restraint that will support the medium-term package. Key issues were the retroactive cutting of wages by 10% and the new measures in the public entities.

A deadline is set on April 15. The government has committed to incorporate all the decisions into a bill and proceed with announcements, which will be placed for public consultation.

Greek Debt Scenarios Drag ASE Down



Market sentiment in the Athens Stock Exchange remains negative on Wednesday, as the General Index is forced into further decline, amid rumours about the Greek debt.

The statements of German officials that a restructuring of Greek debt is possible are at the centre of attention, propagated by major foreign news agencies.

Despite the denial of scenarios by both the Greek government and the head of International Monetary Fund, the domestic market still cannot find any positive catalyst for rebound, after a seven-session downward streak.


As a result of the hearsay and the government’s low performance in implementing its fiscal program, Athens market seems trapped in thin turnovers.

Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank reduced target prices of Greek banks, according to a report, intensifying the pressures to the banking sector. ATEbank falls by up to 14.93%, after the announcement of the terms to be proposed to the general meeting of shareholders regarding the capital increase of the bank.

Across the board, the General Index is at 1,478.42, down 0.72% on a turnover of €29m. A total amount of 113 shares decline, 20 rise and 40 remain unchanged.

Bank index declines by 1.66%, at 1173.78 units, with all of its shares in red. ATEbank falls by 10.45%, while Proton Bank and Attica Bank decline by 4.55% and 3.06% respectively. Bank of Cyprus is down 2.78%, while Eurobank, National Bank and Piraues Bank post losses in a range of 1.5-2%.
