After the Greek economy growth, the Finnish optimism in reaching an agreement.

 
                 

The Finnish Finance Minister, Alexander Stubb, has over the last months of the voices of resistance to a third Greek bailout. This morning, in an interview quoted by Bloomberg, the official said that “things look much better now” and already there are “indications that the Greek government is more serious now. The road to recovery has begun. It will be a long road, but crossed the worst of the storm “, also said Stubb.

 
 

The Finnish minister adopts now a speech much more moderate, at a time when Germany continues to urge Greece to ask for a new bridging loan, instead of rushing to close the bailout program. Greece intends to have the deal done before August 20, the day have to repay about EUR 4 billion to creditors. “If more time is required, we can give it,” Stubb said when asked if the Greek government had to follow the German proposal. It is recalled that Athens has asked for an interim loan of about 7 billion euros, which was used primarily to repay the ECB.

 
 

“If we can, however, confirm that the measures that have been agreed between Greece and creditors were fully implemented, we will be ready to give the green light to the” adjustment also said Stubb.

 
 

The Foreign Minister of Finland, Timo Soini, belonging to The Finns – or ‘True Finns’, a party of the extreme right – which has also been strongly opposed to yet another Greek bailout, looks on but I have changed my mind. Soini said, a few days ago, who would be willing to negotiate an aid package even if the negotiations on the bailout failed to Athens, justifying its position that the alternative – the possible exit from the euro Greece – is even more expensive .

 
 

In the same interview, Stubb said that now it’s time to lay eyes on the ball and continue with the difficult task of bringing the agreement between Athens and creditors to fruition. “I believe we will not attend a Greek bankruptcy, the solution will be found,” said the minister. “We have done a very long way,” he said.
