GREEK FINANCIAL MARKET
The General Index closed at 742.44 posting losses of 1.68%, after the meeting of the government coalition partners, in a turnover of €39.55mn.
Τhe coalition leaders agreed on most of the cost-cutting measures demanded by the troika, but there are still some outstanding issues. They are going to seek for a two-year extension of the fiscal adjustment program. The Finance Minister Mr. Yannis Stournaras described the agreement as a basis for strong negotiation with the troika and he added that the proposed measures will first have to be approved by the troika envoys, expected in Athens during the weekend, before they are voted upon in Parliament.
The French Foreign Minister Mr. Laurent Fabius said that Greece requires a mix of deficit cuts and help from other euro zone members to remain a member of the single currency.
