Dijsselbloem Says Further Greek Aid May Include Extending Loans

Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem said Greece’s international creditors will decide after the summer on possible further aid, including extending the maturity of existing loans.

Greece’s economic situation is improving, and this has an impact on calculations of the country’s debt sustainability, Dijsselbloem said in an interview aboard a Dutch government airplane en route to Cyprus late yesterday.

“After the summer we will review everything,” he said. If Greece fulfills the requirements set by its international creditors, including a primary budget surplus, and debt sustainability remains a problem, “we are prepared to do more,” he said.

“What is more? A number of examples have been given, including longer maturities or a further reduction of the interest rate,” he said. “But it also depends on how economic growth evolves.”

Dijsselbloem said he’s hopeful that euro-area finance ministers can reach a positive decision on the next aid payments to Greece at a meeting in Athens on April 1.

“A bit more than 8 billion euros is now foreseen,” Dijsselbloem said. “I don’t know yet. The troika will also advise on the amount needed.”

Dijsselbloem said Greece’s return to the markets is a wise decision.

“But you must also be able to manage expectations,” he said. “So it starts carefully. Portugal is doing the same, slowly. Ireland as well. Slowly you issue bonds. First short term and then gradually longer term,” he said. “I think it’s good they start this year.”

  1. You are a Restaurateur and you're great at it.
    You know how to produce amazing dishes full of flavor and aptitude.
    You know how to produce an incredible atmosphere exactly where individuals
    love to invest time. And you know how to treat customers like
    kings, offering service and hospitality like no 1 else.

    But are all these strengths enough to create a effective cafe?
    There's 1 crucial region that's lacking.

    Later, we took a Shilla Resort bus to the Itaewon Shopping
    District, where they would take American cash. We ate at a 'Subway'
    restaurant, just like back again home. At other locations on that road you could find McDonald's, KFC, Burger King and
    OutBack Steak House. We treated ourselves to a Baskin Robbins Ice Product treat whilst sitting down in entrance of a shop and viewing people and traffic.
    While I was in the Ice Product store, Doyle was approached by a Jehovah
    Witness. That truly surprised us.

    I have mixed feelings about the Edelweiss Lodge and Vacation resort.
    On one hand, it is a extremely good, modern facility that
    offers a lot of amenities that People in america have gotten used to.
    On the other hand, staying there is type of like becoming caught
    on a compound. You're powering a fenced in region, which separates you
    from the locals. Virtually everyone remaining and working at the Edelweiss is
    an American. While that indicates you ought to have no difficulty communicating with the employees or meeting new individuals, it also
    means that the experience is something less than authentic.
    It appears like a squander to take a vacation in Germany, however spend it surrounded by People in america.


    Now attendees have not only the person's name but the relationship.
    A discussion such as, "Oh you had been in Pam's portray group, do you paint landscapes like Pam did?" Avery labels that you can buy at any office provide shop work
    fantastic for nametags. You can go to the Avery website to download the
    Avery template 5164. You can personalize the title christmas gift tag templates avery 5160 with clip art, a favorite
    color, stating or if there is a theme to the service like bouquets or butterflies you can incorporate that theme into the title tag.
    You may want to established a table at the entrance to the
    services where individuals can fill out their tag.

    Suggest that they create their name distinct and in large print.


    (7) Welcome your new followers - personally, I'm not a enthusiast of this 1, as I
    have noticed all method of automated "thanks for following me" messages.
    There's nothing wrong with a "thanks for subsequent me" tweet each now and then --
    these are good. Just try not to be as well mechanical about it.



    In the middle of the Corridor was a lone desk environment with wine glasses inverted
    and vacant chairs signifying that the 'fallen comrades'
    would not be joining us at this commemorative event. A crimson rose in a glass vase was a reminder of their selfless
    sacrifice. a soldier performed 'Amazing Grace' on bagpipes as he walked in between the tables for that solemn remembrance.


    A week later on she called to set up an interview, the
    outcome of which was a 4 page article that came out two days
    prior to the launch of my first book!

    At the end of the celebration you can give out the goodie bags to every kid.
    I recommend this so your visitors will open up their
    goodie baggage at their personal houses otherwise you might discover tons of small goodies & wrappers all over your house.
