PM to seek to rally troops on program



Midterm plan to be seen by cabinet today before submission in Parl't Wednesday

Prime Minister George Papandreou is on Monday to chair a crucial cabinet session aimed at getting all his ministers behind the government’s midterm program before it is submitted in Parliament later this week amid reports of growing rifts within the ruling Socialist party over the tax increases and severe cuts to public sector spending outlined in the program.
After today’s cabinet session, the premier and his ministers are to present the proposed measures before a session of the party’s political council in a bid to get the vast majority of MPs to back the program before its scheduled submission in Parliament on Wednesday.
Concerns about a backbench rebellion scuppering the government’s hopes to push the program through Parliament have grown since last Thursday when a group of 16 PASOK MPs sent Papandreou a letter demanding that the midterm program be debated extensively before being put to the vote, not rushed through Parliament.
Greece’s international creditors are pushing in the opposite direction; they want the program pushed through Parliament as soon as possible so that its implementation can begin and real progress can be made toward raising much-needed revenue and curbing the country’s huge budget deficit.
In an attempt to strike a positive tone ahead of what promises to be another difficult week, the government over the weekend uploaded onto its website a link featuring a video listing its achievements since October 2009 when Socialist PASOK returned to power.
“In 20 months we have achieved what has not been done in as many years,” the video said, noting that public spending had been slashed and radical reforms put into motion.
Meanwhile, in the wake of talks between Papandreou and Eurogroup Chairman Jean-Claude Juncker on Friday that paved the way for a second bailout for Greece, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported on Sunday that the new package could end up costing more than 100 billion euros.
Another German newspaper, Welt am Sonntag, claimed that the German Finance Ministry aims to propose the extension of maturities on Greek state bonds.
There was no confirmation of either report by the German ministry in Berlin.

As public opposition to more austerity mounts and politicians become the target of a heckling and stone-throwing minority, Archbishop Ieronymos has called on citizens to show greater tolerance and work together to emerge from the crisis.
As we have all contributed to this crisis, to a lesser or greater extent, we can also be part of the change,” the archbishop of Athens and all Greece said in a letter published in Sunday’s Kathimerini.
In the letter - titled “Where are we going?” - Ieronymos said attacking others was not only counterproductive but could lead to disaster. “If ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another,” he said, quoting the Apostle Paul.
Ieronymos did not comment on the campaign of “Indignant” protesters, which has received the backing of two members of his Holy Synod - Bishop Anthimos of Thessaloniki and Bishop Ambrosios of Kalavryta and Aigialeia.

Indignant movement draws largest crowd



More than 50,000 people cram in and around Syntagma Square for peaceful rally

Tens of thousands of demonstrators converged in and around Syntagma Square on Sunday for a 12th day of protests against the goverment’s ongoing austerity drive.
The crowd in central Athens was one of the largest since the campaign began with the turnout exceeding 50,000 people, according to police who were out in force. Following a dip in numbers at rallies toward the end of last week, yesterday’s crowd spilled out of Syntagma Square and into surrounding streets.
It appears that a larger number of Greeks were inspired to join Sunday’s protest as rallies were also taking place in Spain and Portugal, which have similar economic problems. Greece’s self-professed “Indignant Citizens” -modeled on a movement with the same name that was launched in Spain last month - have pledged to continue their protests until the government reacts.
A few government backbenchers have expressed support though most have dismissed the movement as vague and lacking direction.
Critics outside the government have drawn attention to the range of slogans on the banners raised by protesters. Apart from anti-austerity slogans such as “Take back your measures” and “Greece is not for sale,” other messages rail against racism and demand more rights for migrants.
Organizers of the Indignant movement say that their unifying themes are opposition to austerity and their independence from the labor unions that usually organize protest rallies in Greece.
On Saturday, members of the Communist-backed labor union PAME organized a demonstration in Athens to protest rising unemployment and ongoing austerity.

Hundreds of imported cars remain unsold as sales dipped considerably in the first five months of the year.
Hellenic Statistical Authority data indicate that the annual decline in sales in the January-May period came to 43.7 percent, as just 59,604 new cars have been registered this year against 105,911 in the same period in 2010.
Despite government measures to provide incentives for drivers to withdraw older vehicles from circulation, the market remains particularly quiet.

Forex, dollaro precipita su dati deboli, euro a massimo un mese

lunedì 6 giugno 2011 07:46






SYDNEY, 6 giugno (Reuters) - Il dollaro ha aggiornato il suo minimo del mese contro un basket di valute e contro l'euro, non non trovando alcun sostegno nei deludenti dati sull'occupazione Usa di recente pubblicazione.
Contro un basket di valute il dollaro .DXY vale 73,775, in calo dello 0,01% e dopo un minimo a 73,643, livello che non si vedeva dallo scorso 5 maggio. Il dato lungamente atteso, quello relativo all'occupazione del settore non agricolo, ha mostrato venerdì scorso un marcato rallentamento nella creazione di posti di lavoro, che ha spinto il tasso di disoccupazione al 9,1% dal precedente 9,0%.
A sostenere l'euro anche le notizie provenienti dal fronte portoghese, con la fine delle incertezze politiche, con una convincente vittoria del partito di centrodestra sui socialisti.
Attorno alle 7,45 l'euro quota sopra 1,46 dollari a 1,4636/40 dollari EUR= dalla precedente chiusura newyorkese a 1,4628 e dopo un massimo a 1,4656, e 117,55/58 yen EURJPY= da 117,35. Secondo alcuni analisti il nuovo target dell'euro si colloca a 1,500 dollari. Il dollaro/yen JPY= si attesta a 80,29/33 da 80,21.
 
EURO GOVT-Bunds flat, Greek aid hopes offset soft data






LONDON, June 6 | Mon Jun 6, 2011 2:29am EDT

LONDON, June 6 (Reuters) - Bund futures were stable on Monday as investors balanced prospects of a fresh aid package for Greece with concerns over the sustainability of the global economic recovery.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the chairman of euro zone finance ministers said on Friday Greece could get financial aid beyond the original bailout scheme, but under strict conditionality. That should fuel investor appetite for risk and put pressure on safe-haven debt.
But the downside would be limited by a string of recent weak data out of the United States that has fueled concerns over the health of the world's largest economy.
At 0611 GMT, the Bund future FGBLc1 was 1 tick higher at 125.23.
"The bearish bias could continue for a little bit ... We should see further relief as (a second) bailout package is somehow shaping up," said Commerzbank strategist Rainer Guntermann.
"This is what the market is starting to anticipate so there's probably some more downward correction in store."
Uncertainty remained, however, over how private investors could be involved to help Greece "on a voluntary basis."
In Portugal, the Social Democrats scored a convincing election win on Sunday and will be in a comfortable position to implement the austerity measures agreed with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund as part of its rescue package.

The prospect of a hawkish stance from the European Central Bank at its monetary policy meeting on Thursday could also keep German debt under pressure, especially short-dated maturities.
Two-year yields DE2YT=TWEB were 0.4 basis points higher at 1.692 percent, while ten-year yields DE10YT=TWEB were 0.5 bps lower at 3.589 percent.
