They have resisted the changes with all means, they have not yet realized that they are desirable and necessary.<br />If you consider that progress or success I beg to disagree. If you think it will last if Greece is given money unsupervised you are naive.<br />It's time to get away from Greek benchmarking (is there still somebody worse than me) and back to normal (where am I in relation to the top). It is a race to the bottom, or the lowest common denominator. It is not relevant where Greece is in relation to Zimbabwe, unless they will be happy with living standards as in Zimbabwe.<br />LennardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882645467378797266.post-9218455429779645492014-11-01T10:52:27.872+01:002014-11-01T10:52:27.872+01:00So when i am at 108 and i have 2X investments, i g...So when i am at 108 and i have 2X investments, i go to 61 and i have X investments, the answer is that it's normal because at any case i am last in EU? I would expect more like "i am at 108 with 2X investments, i go to 61 and i still get 2X investments, because after all, i am last in EU". But i am not good with numbers! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882645467378797266.post-88137209606903429392014-10-30T14:08:47.361+01:002014-10-30T14:08:47.361+01:00Well, I guess the answer is that, whether you are ...Well, I guess the answer is that, whether you are #108 or #61, if you are at the bottom of the European pile, you are going to come out last when it comes to foreign investment.kleinguthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12491174042954678023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882645467378797266.post-5036096024876491312014-10-30T13:39:16.752+01:002014-10-30T13:39:16.752+01:00Yes, from 108 to 61.

Because one that wants to do business, also wants a stable tax enviroment and the certainty that he isn't investing in a country that may default again, because of the amount of debt. Currently, the yearly cost of greek needs after 2020 or 2022 is impossible to service. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
