A casual observer of the Greek political discourse should be excused for feeling completely confused by
the cacophony created by a litany of the comments regarding the issue of Greek sovereign debt
sustainability, re-negotiation, alleviation or even repudiation. While these comments reflect the
importance of these issues for the future of the Greek economy, the way this dialogue is conducted
obscures rather than clarifies the true nature of the problems that need to be addressed.
One way to put some order to this rather chaotic discussion is to place the issue of debt sustainability
into the right framework: Starting from the beginning, we have to be aware that to a large extent the
economic and labor market policies implemented in Greece in 2013-2014 as well as the outline of the
policies to be implemented over the next couple of years have been decided in one of the most crucial
Eurogroup meetings back in November 2012. At that meeting our European partners took the
unequivocal decision to support Greece in its effort to remain in the Eurozone, while Greece
committed to the implementation of the Economic Adjustment Programme. With hindsight that
Eurogroup meeting had a profoundly positive impact on the Greek economy as it led to the
elimination of Grexit fears, allowed the disbursement of the “super-tranch” of €50bn, paved the way
for the recapitalization of the Greek banking sector, normalized our relationship with the rest of Europe
thus improving tourism from 2013 onwards and more generally it put the foundations for the
stabilization and gradual recovery of the Greek economy.
5
Last time that the issue of the sustainability of Greek debt was seriously addressed by the institutions
was during the November 2012 Eurogroup meeting. The outcome of that meeting was very favourable
for the Greek economy. Yet Eurogroup had to satisfy two important, politically imposed, constraints:
• Debt had to appear to be sustainable (based on IMF’s sustainability analysis)
• Estimated funding needs could not exceed the amount of €245 bn originally allocated to Greece,
i.e. no new money.
These constraints are satisfied under a unique set of conditions that maybe achievable in a physics lab
(or more appropriately in an Excel spreadsheet) but not in the real world. More specifically, debt
sustainability requires a specific trajectory for growth, inflation, Euribor rates, fiscal surpluses and
privatization revenues. At the same time the lack of new financing means that all fiscal surpluses, ANFA
& SMP profits and privatizations revenues have to be directed towards repaying Greece’s external
debt.
6
The point that we are trying to make is that debt is one of the variables in that system of equations but
it is the end- rather the starting-point. Rather than starting a negotiation on the level of debt we
should start from a reasonable set of macro assumptions, allowing for achievable primary surpluses
that can be recycled into the Greek economy in the form of infrastructure spending and keeping
debt/GDP as a “free” variable which will be determined at the end.
If that exercise leads to unrealistic levels of sovereign indebtness at the end-horizon of the simulation
then corrective action should be taken to reduce the debt accordingly.
7
With hindsight the main driving forces supporting GDP growth in 2014 were:
• Tourism activity: Tourism revenues increased in 2014 by 10.6% YoY reaching €13.4 bn
• EU support: Funding (in the form of grants from EU funds) reached circa €8 bn in 2014
• Remarkable pick up in domestic demand: In 2014 private consumption grew by 1.3%,
contributing 1.0% to GDP growth rate and gross fixed capital was increased by 2.7% contributing
0.3% to GDP growth rate
• Deflation: Contrary to popular belief deflation has been a positive force supporting Greek
households’ real disposable income
In 2014 real GDP grew by 0.8% ending a prolonged recession that begun back in 2008.
However during Q4/2014, real GDP declined by 0.4% QoQ curbing the upward trend since the
beginning of 2014.
8
• The downward revision of Q4-2014 real GDP growth rate to -0.4% QoQ minimized the
momentum of the Greek economy, drastically reducing the carry – over effect to just 0.1%
forcing us to revise our forecast for real GDP growth rate to a range of 0.5% to 1.0% noting a
median value of 0.8%
• Despite worries we believe that tourism will accelerate further in 2015 continuing to support the
Greek economy
• EU funding: we expect EU funding to decelerate in 2015
• An upside risk on our estimates depends on the outcome of the negotiations between the new
government and our EU partners.

Economic Climate Tracer
Since the middle of 2012 the Greek economy entered in an improving trajectory that culminated in
a brief period of GDP growth.
The recent rise of political uncertainty and instability is threatening to push back the Greek
economy to a recessionary phase and causes a rapid escalation of financial stress.

Contribution of main components to
Real GDP growth rate
In 2014, domestic demand and to a lesser extend foreign trade made a positive contribution.
The carry –over effect for 2015 is a mere 0.1%. Following the assumption that the Greek economy
with maintain a part of its dynamic we estimate that the real GDP growth rate will range from 0.5%
up to 1.0%, noting a middle point at 0.8%

carry - over effect growth dynamics within the year
We estimate that a favourable sign for a further GDP growth is the positive carry over effect of
private consumption, which constitutes the main part of GDP.
Moreover we note an extreme positive carry over effect on GFCF, but also a strong carry over effect
on imports. The contribution of an increase in investment on the GDP growth rate will be partly
counterbalanced by the negative contribution of an increase in imports .

Headline Inflation (CPI)
Inflation & Output Gap
Headline Inflation (CPI) vs GDP deflator
Given the substantial negative output gap in the
Greek economy and taking into account the
global lowflationary environment, we expect the
Greek economy to remain in a deflationary
mode with inflation at a range of -1.6% to -0.8%,
noting a middle point at -1.2%

upward trend of imports as a result of the

Total Credit Total Credit, (% of GDP)
The recent outflow of deposits and the dependency of Greek bank to the Eurosystem funding to the
turn of €104bn will have an adverse impact to the total credit formation, leading total loans growth
to -2.5% i.e circa 116% of GDP.

• Business confidence indicators in industry and construction show a steady improvement since late
2012. Yet, since end -2014 their estimates and expectations seems to moderate in a “ wait and see”
environment.
• Manufacturing companies send mixed signals in production as they seem to be negative with respect
to the level of orders and inventories.
• In the construction’ sector the negative estimates regarding turnover are moderate; however the
pessimistic expectations regarding employment have risen again.

Main components’ contribution
to IPI growth rate
• In 2014, the Industrial Production Index decreased by -2.2% (2013: -3.2%), mainly due to the negative
contribution of IPI Electricity. Instead, IPI Manufacturing perform a positive sign after a 6-year period of
recession (2014: + 0.9% , 2013:- 0.7%).
• The performance of Industrial Production Index, combined with the expectations index indicate
deceleration in the short term.

Total Loans (% of GDP) Loans, Greece (YoY % change & net flows)
Note: Flows are derived from the differences in outstanding amounts
corrected for loan write-offs, exchange rate valuations and
reclassifications.
• Both the decrease in nominal GDP and the level of loan outstanding amount leads to a slight
decrease in the ratio of loans to GDP.
• The rate of decline in loans is clearly negative, however at end -2014 the negative monthly net flow
seems to limit.

• The level of deflation in Greece burdens the real rates.
• One of the biggest side effects of the lack of liquidity and the political uncertainty is the high cost of

Liabilities to the Eurosystem (mn. €)
• Liabilities to the Eurosystem increased from €4 bn in Jan 2008 to €135.8 bn in June 2012. An outlier was
recorded in February 2012 (€158 bn), due to the PSI procedure.
• By 2014, this figure had fallen and by mid-year banks stopped using the ELA mechanism.
• However, in the beginning of 2015 and when the uncertainty increased, the Greek financial institutions
increased their liabilities to the ELA mechanism up €5,2 bn in January. Additionally, funding through the
ECB reached €82,3 bn from €56 bn in Dec.’14.

  • 4. 4 A casual observer of the Greek political discourse should be excused for feeling completely confused by the cacophony created by a litany of the comments regarding the issue of Greek sovereign debt sustainability, re-negotiation, alleviation or even repudiation. While these comments reflect the importance of these issues for the future of the Greek economy, the way this dialogue is conducted obscures rather than clarifies the true nature of the problems that need to be addressed. One way to put some order to this rather chaotic discussion is to place the issue of debt sustainability into the right framework: Starting from the beginning, we have to be aware that to a large extent the economic and labor market policies implemented in Greece in 2013-2014 as well as the outline of the policies to be implemented over the next couple of years have been decided in one of the most crucial Eurogroup meetings back in November 2012. At that meeting our European partners took the unequivocal decision to support Greece in its effort to remain in the Eurozone, while Greece committed to the implementation of the Economic Adjustment Programme. With hindsight that Eurogroup meeting had a profoundly positive impact on the Greek economy as it led to the elimination of Grexit fears, allowed the disbursement of the “super-tranch” of €50bn, paved the way for the recapitalization of the Greek banking sector, normalized our relationship with the rest of Europe thus improving tourism from 2013 onwards and more generally it put the foundations for the stabilization and gradual recovery of the Greek economy.
  • 5. 5 Last time that the issue of the sustainability of Greek debt was seriously addressed by the institutions was during the November 2012 Eurogroup meeting. The outcome of that meeting was very favourable for the Greek economy. Yet Eurogroup had to satisfy two important, politically imposed, constraints: • Debt had to appear to be sustainable (based on IMF’s sustainability analysis) • Estimated funding needs could not exceed the amount of €245 bn originally allocated to Greece, i.e. no new money. These constraints are satisfied under a unique set of conditions that maybe achievable in a physics lab (or more appropriately in an Excel spreadsheet) but not in the real world. More specifically, debt sustainability requires a specific trajectory for growth, inflation, Euribor rates, fiscal surpluses and privatization revenues. At the same time the lack of new financing means that all fiscal surpluses, ANFA & SMP profits and privatizations revenues have to be directed towards repaying Greece’s external debt.
  • 6. 6 The point that we are trying to make is that debt is one of the variables in that system of equations but it is the end- rather the starting-point. Rather than starting a negotiation on the level of debt we should start from a reasonable set of macro assumptions, allowing for achievable primary surpluses that can be recycled into the Greek economy in the form of infrastructure spending and keeping debt/GDP as a “free” variable which will be determined at the end. If that exercise leads to unrealistic levels of sovereign indebtness at the end-horizon of the simulation then corrective action should be taken to reduce the debt accordingly.
  • 7. 7 With hindsight the main driving forces supporting GDP growth in 2014 were: • Tourism activity: Tourism revenues increased in 2014 by 10.6% YoY reaching €13.4 bn • EU support: Funding (in the form of grants from EU funds) reached circa €8 bn in 2014 • Remarkable pick up in domestic demand: In 2014 private consumption grew by 1.3%, contributing 1.0% to GDP growth rate and gross fixed capital was increased by 2.7% contributing 0.3% to GDP growth rate • Deflation: Contrary to popular belief deflation has been a positive force supporting Greek households’ real disposable income In 2014 real GDP grew by 0.8% ending a prolonged recession that begun back in 2008. However during Q4/2014, real GDP declined by 0.4% QoQ curbing the upward trend since the beginning of 2014.
  • 8. 8 • The downward revision of Q4-2014 real GDP growth rate to -0.4% QoQ minimized the momentum of the Greek economy, drastically reducing the carry – over effect to just 0.1% forcing us to revise our forecast for real GDP growth rate to a range of 0.5% to 1.0% noting a median value of 0.8% • Despite worries we believe that tourism will accelerate further in 2015 continuing to support the Greek economy • EU funding: we expect EU funding to decelerate in 2015 • An upside risk on our estimates depends on the outcome of the negotiations between the new government and our EU partners.
