The steps towards renegotiating the March 2012 bailout deal for Greece by the coalition governmment of Antonis Samaras
07/01/2011
Participation by the ECB, the IMF and the EC in negotiations with the new Greek government of Antonis Samaras to come up with a revised loan agreement for Greece. New Democracy's Samaras, the new prime minister of Greece in June 2012, has insisted that the terms should include ways in which Greece can return to growth, and the Democratic Left party, the third coalition partner, has insisted that the timetable for the deficit targets needs to be extended and the harshest austerity measures such as cutting the minimum wage be cancelled.

The 436 million euro payment by Greece to bondholder holdout Dart Management on May 15, 2012
07/01/2011
The Greek government opted to make full payment to Dart fearing it would sue and tie up European bailout funds Greece needs. Other bondholders took a large haircut on their bonds under the March 2012 Greece restructuring deal. This is likely to worsen discontent in Greece before the second elections in June 2012.

The logjam between the bondholders (mostly French and German banks) and the German government- 2010-2012
07/01/2011
The roots of the Eurozone financial crisis go back to the issue of who should pay for the excess lending of French and German banks. Will it be the German taxpayer or the banks that took excessive risks? German financial experts, the German government and parliament, German public opinion, are all adamantly opposed to letting the banks off without sharing at least 50% of the costs of a bailout. A review done by the European Commission in coordination witht he IMF and the ECB, shows that from May 2010 (the date for the inception of the aid program to Greece) to September 2011, $52 billion of the $91 billion loaned to Greece went to pay bondholders for bonds that came due. The July 2011 EU agreement for Greece called for 21% of losses to be allocated to the bondholders. The German government is pushing for 50% and German parlamentary leaders in Merkel's party are balking at anything less.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
