[01] PM: 'Recovery of the economy the great wager'ANA-MPA - The recovery of the economy was the year's "great wager", Prime Minister George Papandreou stressed in Parliament on Friday. He asserted that there were now visible signs of this recovery, in comparison with the situation handed over by the previous New Democracy government.The prime minister was replying to a question tabled by main opposition ND leader Antonis Samaras.
