My Job Will Not Be

I Am Not A Politician But I Have Dedicated The Biggest Part Of My Professional Life To Economic Policy Both In Greece And Europe.

So It Won't Be A Surprise When The Greek Default Actually Happens And We Expect It One Way Or The Other To Be Relatively Soon.

I Am Personally Convinced - And I Think The Greek People Share This Belief In A Fundamental Way - That We Can Achieve Fiscal Consolidation More Effectively And We Can Restore Competitiveness In A More Fundamental And Permanent Way Within The Euro Area Than Outside.

We Must All Assume Out Responsibilities To Take The Country Forward.

The New Co-operation Government Will Do The Best It Can To Address The Country's Problems, And I Believe That With The Co-operation Of All - And The New Government Stresses This - And The Unity Of All, We Will Achieve That.
