ECOFIN agreement to revise economic governance framework: ‘A success for Greece’

Greece was represented at ECOFIN by National Economy & Finance Minister Kostis Hatzidakis, who stated that "a long European negotiation was concluded today with success for Greece. A long-term request of successive Greek governments for the exemption of defense investments from the calculation of excessive deficit has been accepted for the first time. At the same time, there is explicit reference in a positive way to the issue that will arise in 2033 in relation to the calculation of interest on loans of the official sector on the Greek public debt, thus relieving Greece of a headache in terms of the EU's fiscal rules."
