  • [01] Merkel: We are working to keep Greece part of the eurozone

    ANA/MPA---Chancellor Angela Merkel signaled she's prepared to ride out German voters' discontent to try to keep Greece in the euro, as long as Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras does his part and presents a viable economic plan, according to Bloomberg news agency.

    As Greece's cash runs out and credit-default swaps signal investors see a growing risk that the country will renege on its debt, Merkel said she isn't guided by surveys on domestic opposition to keeping Greece in the euro.

    "What I'm doing politically doesn't rely on the polls, which vary quite a bit, but rather will Greece be able to fulfill the expectations that we all have," Merkel said in Helsinki during a visit to Finland on Monday. "This will be an extended process of discussions. We are working for Greece to be able to remain a part of the euro area."

    [02] Alternate FinMin Mardas sees agreement with lenders on Wednesday

    ANA/MPA---Alternate Finance Minister Dimitris Mardas in statements to MEGA TV said that he sees an agreement with the lenders on Wednesday.

    He estimated that the lenders are not going to delay the negotiations. "I see the agreement tomorrow," he underlined.

    Regarding the country's cash reserves until April 8, he referred to the current negotiation. "As you already know a negotiation is underway... Let's see the results of the EuroWorking Group and then we can talk about anything else regarding cash reserves," he underlined.

    As for the law that will replace the Uniform Real Estate Ownership Tax (ENFIA), he underlined that its implementation is postponed for a while, it will not be implemented in one or two months, it will be implemented a bit later. "Another solution is being sought," Mardas said adding that this solution will be beneficial to low income households.
