Optimal Financial Management  - Greek Bailout Exit - Update 18th February 2015

Rumors have started to circulate that the Greek government may be just about to be offered a 6 month extension, which they will look to accept.

Since its election the new Greek authorities have been adamant that there would be no further austerity in the country and that the bailout would not be honored as agreed. The news that the EU is looking to offer this and only this extension at this time is a stark contrast to the confidence seen just a few weeks ago from Tspiras.

It is not just the bailout that is of concern. The ECB is now looking into whether it is able to continue funding Greek banks as they are now losing deposits faster than previously expected and reserves could start to get significantly lower. The banks have almost exhausted the €65bn made available by the European Central Bank and whether more funds are made available may hinge on the acceptance of the extension and the time this affords the parties to look to another agreement.

So far, at each meeting nothing has been agreed, or even agreed to be discussed in more detail and as time runs out for the bailout, Greeks must be getting more nervous that the government they put in place to solve their financial woes may not be strong enough to get Europe to do what it requires.

Friday is the next big meeting for the Greeks and this meeting will hopefully start to set some ground rules for remaining negotiations.
