Well, as a surprise to us all, Greece did indeed get a bailout. Apparently Grecce have met all the terms which they hadn't met just a few days back. Magic.
They will meet the terms this time aswell, they have promised! And they will be back to growth by 2014 too, according to the Troika!
It's like some kind of bad soap.0 -
