 Briefing the press yesterday, ahead of an IMF-World Bank spring meeting in Washington, IMF Managing Director Strauss-Kahn stressed that "Greece can make it" provided the government carries on with the necessary reform programme and that Europe comes up with a more integrated plan. "As I have repeatedly said, I understand how painful it is for the Greek people, but I think Greece will make it. But to do this there is a programme to be implemented," he said.
Meanwhile, speaking at a Brookings Institution seminar, also in Washington, EU Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs, Olli Rehn said that "we do not see debt restructuring as an option. Instead we are engaged in a revised and updated debt sustainability analysis, which we will do with the IMF and present in due course." Source: GREEK NEWS AGENDA issued by the Secretariat Genera
