Till debt do us part: Kofinas LIVE from rioting revolting Athens

The Greek government has voted in favour of a new round of austerity cuts – securing the next multi-billion instalement of cash from the EU and staving off a default. But furious protesters have reacted violently to the vote, with battles between police and demonstrators continuing just meters from Parliament. Scenes from downtown Athens resemble a warzone – as protesters fought with riot squads amid volleys of tear gas. Hundreds of thousands of people nationwide walked off their jobs for a two day strike against the austerity cuts. They say drowning the country in debt at crippling interest rates has failed once – and it’ll fail again. For more on what the vote means for Greece and the EU RT talks to financial journalist Demetri Kofinas.

Greek debt tragedy: ‘Slow agonizing death of the Euro’

The Greek Prime Minister is facing a crucial confidence vote in parliament. It will determine whether he’ll be able to secure another injection of cash from the EU, and save the country from plunging into deeper crisis. On Monday, EU finance ministers piled further pressure on Greece. They gave Athens two weeks to pass fresh budget cuts and tax increases, conditions that must be met to secure a previously agreed installment of twelve billion euro. MEP William Dartmouth, whose UK Independence Party wants Britain out of the EU, says the uncertainty over the next payment for Greece, is understandable.

Greek Lawmakers Pass Spending Cuts Required for Loans

This is the VOA Special English Economics Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish

Greece’s debt crisis has shaken investors in the United States and worldwide. They worry that it could spread far beyond Greece. On May sixth, a day after huge protests in Athens, the Greek parliament approved a series of spending cuts. Greece has to cut thirty billion dollars as part of a bailout deal with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. The deal is for one hundred forty-five billion dollars in loans.The cuts include wage freezes and reductions in retirement pay for government workers. Critics say the austerity plan will hurt the poor especially. But Greek labor costs are high even for Europe. And Greece’s public debt is equal to at least one hundred fifteen percent of its economy. The cuts may be the only hope to avoid declaring bankruptcy.Sebastien Galy is senior currency strategist for the French bank BNP Paribas. He says other European countries delayed rescuing Greece because it was politically unpopular. Now they are paying for it.European countries promised to make eighty billion euros in loans available over the next three years. The International Monetary Fund promised thirty billion. The quality of Greek government debt is now rated at “junk” levels. The high risk has investors demanding higher interest rates, and not only on Greek debt. Portugal and Spain have also had their credit ratings reduced. Both borrowed from credit markets. And both had to pay far higher rates than Germany, the safest investment in the euro area.The euro is eleven years old and used as the currency of sixteen countries. But less trust in the euro has reduced its value to the lowest levels in over a year. Sebastien Galy says growth expectations for the euro area have dropped. This has affected producers of raw materials such as Australia, Brazil and Canada. But he says the falling euro should help ease the crisis. He expects the exchange rate against the dollar to reach one-to-one within a year. That would be good news for European countries with heavy debt loads. He said: “The lower the euro is, the more competitive these economies become and, therefore, the more the fiscal concerns are going to be reduced.”While the euro has fallen, the dollar has gained value. Investors fleeing risk have bought dollars and American debt.And that’s the VOA Special English Economics Report.
