Greece and the EU rise to the challenge

supported by the EU and IMF
Program aims to restore sustainable public
finances and recover lost competitiveness
Far-reaching structural reforms being adopted

Drastic cuts in public expenditure across all
levels of government
Program will stabilize debt ratio (but at a high
level)
