Greece's bailout program in 2016- differences between the position of Greece and Germany with the IMF position

04/20/2016

The IMF calls for more pension cuts than tax hikes. Greece's new government of centre left Alexis Tsipras wants to minimize the burden on retirees and the poor. Germany sees no problem as long as Greece can maintain sufficient surplus to pay down debt under its bailout program of 2015 with the Tsipras government. Germany maintains that its fairness is reflected in the lower interest rate and repayment terms that extend over many years. After elections in Jan 2015, again in Sept. 2015, and a referendum in July 2015, and a refugee crisis in Europe, much of Europe is weary of facing another debt crisis, so experts see some form of negotiated settlement of differences.

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.
