IMF in Washington, Mario Draghi: “Success in the hands of Greece … – ANSA.it

“Betting against the euro and ‘nonsense. Do it if you want.’ ‘Mario Draghi, the new Greek emergency in progress and fears of an exit from the euro zone in Athens, feels subscribe’ ‘word word for ” his statements of 2012, when he said that the euro was irreversible. The scenario since then and ‘changed: the euro area – said Dragons – is experiencing a recovery that is strengthened and’ ‘we are better equipped than in 2012 and in 2010 ”, being able to use the tools of the ECB if necessary in a crisis. But – warns Dragons – the ongoing recovery should not be compromised: serve progress on sustainability ‘budgetary and structural reforms otherwise macroeconomic risks, which fell, could return to rise. Arguing that it is premature to speculate on a farewell of Greece to the euro, Draghi – whose press conference and ‘carried out with enhanced security measures, with controls at the bags and the ban on liquids – urges Athens to act.

” There is much work to do, it’s urgent. We all want the success of Greece, and this success is in the hands of the government greek ”. This is echoed by the German finance minister, Wolfgang Schauble, ” the government greek must decide what he wants ”. Must present – highlights the economy minister, Pier Carlo Padoan – a plan credible and effective. ” The interest of Greece and ‘put the economy back on a growth path. Everyone must do their part ” adds Padoan, reassuring about a potential impact of the Greek crisis on Italy. ” In no way. This problem does not arise ”. The governor of the Bank of Italy, Ignazio Visco, believes ” wrong to talk of contagion. You can ‘talk of market tensions”. Pressed for an agreement the US Treasury Secretary, Jack Lew, admitting that the work to be done is not ‘easy but must be done. The theme Greece dominates in the corridors and in the meetings of the IMF, even if not ‘the subject of formal discussion it’ G20 nell’Imfc. While chasing rumors – by alarm liquidity ‘agreement with Russia to receive funds – Economy Minister greek, Yanis Varoufakis and’ the ‘star’ of the summit, certainly the most ‘scope. Varoufakis flaunts safety and indulges in ironic.

” The future of Greece? Bright, prosperous and bright ” answers, smiling. When asked five minutes of his time says: ” Five minutes these days are a treasure to repay part of the debt of Greece ”. Confident and optimistic, Varoufakis seems to want to wipe out the voices of funds from Russia or China to overcome the crisis: ” Greece and ‘a European issue and needs to be solved, as every family crisis, the European family’ ‘.

Greece, funds Moscow as early gas, the Kremlin denies – While Europe holds the valve still closed, Greece could receive cash from Moscow as early as next week: Putin would be ready to pay Athens up to five billion euro as an advance on the agreement with the strict energy Tsipras early April. A sum that would allow the Greek government to do without European aid, subject to conditions too harsh for neopremier, and stay afloat until at least June, when the current EU aid program will expire and will need to define a new one, to new conditions. The reconstruction comes from the German Spiegel Online quoting Greek sources, but the Kremlin denies, only confirming the existence of the previously announced by Putin and Tsipras during their meeting. On that occasion the greek prime minister had expressed interest in participating in the new pipeline ‘Turkish stream’, which will carry gas from Russia to Europe via Turkey and Greece. Greek sources also speak of an ‘advance’ Russian based on expected profits, but a Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, commenting just as reported by Der Spiegel, does not know that there was talk of any financial advance. “Russia – precise – has promised financial assistance because no one has asked.” Even Finance Minister greek Yanis Varoufakis is irritated by rumors of a Russian intervention: “The family issues are resolved in the family”, in the euro area, responded to those who asked on behalf of the hypothesis Moscow. “We never tried outside influence: Greece is a European issue and needs to be solved as every family crisis in the European family,” he explained, taking a line that the European institutions themselves had repeatedly expressed during the visit of Tsipras to Moscow. But in the European family, whose patience is sorely tested by negotiated greek, begins to be someone who would not mind if the Greeks trovassero elsewhere the funds to pay the bills: “I would be happy” if as reported by Spiegel were true and then Greece got an advance from Moscow, said German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble. But it certainly would not be enough to secure the country: “I do not think that would solve the problems that Athens has to respect the commitments of the Memorandum with the European partners,” he added.
