Greece Sees Economy Shrinking 4.5% To 5.3% In 2011
Greece's economy is expected to plunge deeper into recession than previously forecast, the country's finance minister says, adding that this may complicate efforts to achieve budget targets for the year.
ATHENS -- Greece's economy is expected to plunge deeper into recession than
previously forecast, the country's finance minister said Monday, adding that
this may complicate efforts to achieve budget targets for the year.
Speaking in a news conference, Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said the
government now expects Greece's economy to shrink by between 4.5% and 5.3% this year--against an officially forecast 3.9% decline.
"Finance Ministry estimates now see the 2011 recession between 4.5% and 5.3%,"
Venizelos said. "I don't adopt the 5.3% estimate, but I have said that the
recession will be deeper than 4.5%."
Greece's economy is now stumbling through a third year of recession, which
many analysts expect to continue next year. As a result, the government is
scrambling to meet its deficit targets even as tax collections slip on account
of the slowdown and social spending, such as for unemployed workers, rises.
Senior government officials, say a sharper-than-expected slowdown could push Greece's 2011 budget deficit to between 8% and 8.5% of GDP, compared with an official target of 7.6%.
"In the last quarter we must achieve our fiscal targets, which is becoming
more difficult due to a deeper recession," Venizelos said.
But he added that recent spending cuts and tax increases voted on by the Greek
parliament in June, should help the country achieve its budget goals.
"If we apply all of the measures that have been voted, we will be exceedingly
close to our goals," Venizelos said.
