Euro Finance Ministers Said to Reach Agreement on Greek Bailout

Euro-area finance ministers reached agreement on a second bailout package for Greece that is vital to staving off a default next month, a European Union official said. The euro jumped one cent against the dollar.
Finance ministers haggled into the night in Brussels over the terms of new loans to Greece and a possible contribution by central banks, and leaned on investors to accept bigger write- offs in a bond exchange. Ministers were discussing a Greek debt target of 121 percent of gross domestic product by 2020 and a private-sector haircut on Greek bonds of 53 percent, another EU official said.
The euro surged on news of a deal being reached, rising as high as $1.3293 and trading up 0.2 percent at $1.3275 at 4:30 a.m. in Brussels.
European governments need to weld together the program to give enough time for the bond exchange — designed ultimately to write off about 100 billion euros of Greek debt — to go ahead by a mid-March deadline. The target is for the swap offer to run from Feb. 22 to March 9, so the exchange takes place in time for Greece to escape the full 14.5 billion-euro cost of a March 20 bond redemption, German lawmakers were told last week by government officials.
Bondholders’ response to the swap, Greece’s ability to prolong two years of austerity, and a series of parliamentary approvals in northern European countries gripped by an anti- bailout mindset loom as risks to the latest salvage operation.
No time has been set for a press conference after the meeting, which began at 3:30 p.m. yesterday.

Опять дедлайн к сер.марта — теперь уже по списанию долгов. Не понимаю, зачем ЧИ соглашаться, если «свопы» застрахованы? Думаю еще вымоют мозги — кто нибудь из держателей да взбрыкнет.
А новость не гуд — т.к. нацбанки отвернулись; условие достичь профицита уже через 2 года для Греции из разряда «дас ис фантастиш!». Выглядит как попытка надышаться перед смертью. Выпнули бы давно — чем они там пенсию по 1-1,5к евро обеспечивают, мне непонятно?..
Я уже писал, что греки действуют по принципу: «Все что я должнен — я вам простил» )) Просто дурной пример пример подается для других «паразитов» еврозоны.
