ZT:
• Greece is the first advanced economy to miss a payment on IMF debt. The only other two countries to miss before were Cuba and Zimbabwe - interesting company to keep.
• The missed payment by Greece is the largest in the history of the IMF.
• Countries that miss IMF payments are ineligible for further funds as long as they remain in arrears.
• German Chancellor Angela Merkel sums up Europe’s opinion: “We’ll negotiate about absolutely nothing before the planned referendum is held.”
• With regards to the bailout, Greece keeps trying to incrementally change discussion details giving some islands a discount on the value-added tax [VAT], meeting halfway on pension reforms, and slow implementation of fiscal reforms. The Euro-area finance ministers are no longer willing to compromise, period.
• Greek Prime Minister Alex Tsipras submitted an “about face” acceptance to a two-year bailout plan, but he still tweaked some of the terms. It probably won’t fly with Europe.
• Tsipras believes the “Grexit” would hurt Europe just as much as Greece, which he believes provides him leverage, but in my view he has miscalculated.
• Tsipras has called for a July 5 referendum for Greek citizens to vote on whether to accept the terms of the bailout deal in a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ vote, but most citizens have no idea what they are voting for.
• Greece’s economy has shrunk by over 25% in the last five years
• Greece’s GDP makes up all of 0.39% of the world’s GDP
看Cuba and Zimbabwe 的熊样,希腊凶多吉少阿。
如果把IMF比作骗子流氓的话,这是一场无赖对骗子流氓的好戏。
