5. HOW IT IS STARTED
The Greek Government borrowed money
(loans) at very cheap interest rates to manage the
country’s finances. From 2001 to 2008, it
continued to get funding from EU, borrowing
more than it reported publicly.
During this period, the Greek Government
had mostly utilized these funds on public
spending only (economic reforms were ignored).
 During the period 2004 to 2009, the
Government’s primary expenditure increased by
87% against 31% increase of income from
taxation causing huge fiscal imbalances.
After the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the
Greek Government found it very difficult to get
the new loans. The funds started to dry up.

6. Tax evasion: A 2012 study comparing Greek
bank account data with Government Tax Data
found that the true income of the average Greek
person was about 92% higher than the income they
reported to the Government.
Inefficiency: Greece’s social and political set up
also needs to be blamed for the crisis. Greece has a
very low productivity rate. It has a very inefficient
government.
Corruption: Political and social corruption is
very high.
Single currency – The Euro: If Greece was
not part of the Eurozone (EU), it could have printed
the currency notes (Drachma- country’s pre-euro
currency) and allowed its currency to depreciate,
inflation to raise, make the exports competitive.
