  1. For the people who dont consider a Greek bankruptcy likely: Talks in Greece over the next tranche of loans are now on hold until after the US election. With a Greek goverment already out of cash to pay the bills this wont help.

  2. 85.8% of the respondents declare they are pessimistic about the situation of the country.

    Does that mean that 14.2% think we’re having a good time???

  3. More worrying is the 69.5% who disagree with GD. What about the other 30.5%? Do they agree, or do they don’t care either way?

  4. Greece faces a budget shortfall of about 20 billion euros ($26 billion) to satisfy international conditions for emergency aid, almost double previous estimates, German magazine Der Spiegel reported Sunday, citing preliminary findings by the so-called Troika that consists of the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund.

    The country can only receive the next tranche of financial aid from its international creditors once its budget gap is closed.

    Euro-zone officials admit that the EUR173 billion bailout plan agreed with Athens in March–Greece’s second bailout since 2010–is already badly off track. Greece has been waiting since June for its next aid slice of that package–a EUR31 billion payment from the euro-zone bailout fund and the IMF–as the country’s recession cuts deeper and longer than forecast.
