Podcasts about greek debt

In recent years Greece's general government debt has exceeded 350 billion euros and its debt-to-GDP ratio reached 160 per cent of GDP in 2023. Despite this, Greece has managed to fully repair its IMF loans and its economic performance has been a bright spot over the past years for the country, outperforming its Eurozone peers. Yiannis Mouzakis, the co-founder and editor of Macropolis.gr, a political and economic analysis site that focuses on Greece, joins Thanos Davelis to look at Greece's debt and whether it still puts Greece at risk. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:From default to investment grade: A brief history of Greek debtAid for Gaza still leaving Cyprus by sea while landing pier fixed, Cypriot official saysDay limit for short-term rentals

“Grexit,” Greece dropping out of the Eurozone, seemed the most likely outcome of that country's debt crisis in the early 2010s. There were fears that Grexit would be followed by a more widespread splintering of the Eurozone. But Greece and its creditors came to an agreement that enabled the country to service its debt and contributed to its subsequent recovery (and the preservation of the Eurozone). In a striking turnaround, Greece was named the 2023 “Country of the Year” by The Economist magazine. Charles Dallara (Partners Group) recounts the resolution of this crisis, the Greek recovery, and his role in getting Greece and its creditors to come to agreement, in his new book 'Euroshock: How the Largest Debt Restructuring in History Helped Save Greece and Preserve the Eurozone,' which he discusses in this EconoFact Chats episode, along with the lessons of this experience for the current high-debt conditions today. Charles is Chairman and Advisory Partner at Partners Group. At the time of the Greek crisis he was the Managing Partner of the Institute for International Finance. Before that he spent nearly four decades working on international economic policy issues, including at the United States Treasury.

How critical was the US role during the Greek debt crisis, and how does it fit into then President Barack Obama's wider approach to US foreign policy, especially at a time when the US was looking to pivot to Asia? Katerina Sokou, who holds the research fellowship at ELIAMEP on “Greek-American Relations” and who covered the Greek crisis from Washington, DC as a correspondent for Kathimerini, joins Thanos Davelis to break down how the Greek debt crisis provides a case study into the Obama foreign policy doctrine - the focus of her recent in-depth report for ELIAMEP - and underscores Europe's continuing importance for Washington, DC. Read Katerina Sokou's latest here: Obama's Foreign Policy and the Greek Debt CrisisYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Second ship loaded with Gaza aid from Cyprus, says charityUS Army boats head out on a mission to build a floating pier off Gaza's shore for food deliveriesPM: Beleri case clouds relations with AlbaniaRama appoints ethnic Greek as Vlora prefect

It's the 75th anniversary of VJ Day today, Victory over Japan, when Japan surrendered to the US, Britain and China. That ended the Second World War. Japan was given a new, pacifist constitution by the Americans, and seems to have left its former, more aggressive and militaristic, path behind. But, as Rupert Wingfield-Hayes has been finding in Tokyo, there's more that connects the current political leadership to wartime Japan than one might think. Colombia's decades-long civil war came to an end in 2016, it had pitted leftist guerrilla groups like the FARC against government forces and right-wing paramilitaries. Now the Supreme Court has ordered the house arrest of ex-president Alvaro Uribe, amid an investigation into allegations of bribing witnesses to deny his alleged involvement with these militias, charges he denies. Uribe remains divisive, and as Mat Charles reports, his arrest has split public opinion along the same fault lines that stoked the violence previously. Tourism accounts for around a quarter of all jobs in Greece, and was a lifeline during the austerity years of the Greek Debt crisis. But this year the pandemic has kept a lot of visitors away, even though lockdown restrictions started to be lifted early. That has hit seasonal workers particularly hard. On the island of Crete, Heidi Fuller-Love went to meet a family, for whom Covid-19 has been the last straw. On the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca, the German tourists are back. For them, a sunny holiday on Mallorca is an annual ritual not to be missed, be they celebrities on their private estates, or revellers in Palma, on the capital’s party mile. What is it about the Germans and their favourite Mediterranean island, asks John Kampfner. Presenter: Kate Adie Producer: Arlene Gregorius

Greece is one of our favourite tourist destinations. But this country suffered long at the hands of a poor political leadership which crippled it's economy and ended up putting Greece into the lengths of debt and bailouts. Listen to this episode of What Actually Happened to know more about the Greek Debt Crisis, which is still not over. Don't forget to give feedback!

​Greece's economic troubles were widely known but hardly understood. Most of us were content to know that a debt crisis was happening, some protests got violent, and bailout measures were eventually approved. What happened afterwards? Why did the crisis actually happen? Are there any enduring consequences of the economic crisis? Listen to first year Emma Ross and Professor Erik Jones from the John Hopkins School of Advances and International Studies to find out.

Simon Ballard, a Bloomberg credit strategist in London, talks about Greece returning to the debt markets. Steven Oh, the global head of credit and fixed-income at PineBridge Investments, tells Pimm Fox and Lisa Abramowicz why investors should consider a shift in allocations to emerging markets. Michael Halen, a senior restaurant analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, talks about McDonald's strong earnings report, Domino's shrinking margins and provides preview of tonight's Chipotle report. Finally, Sarah Halzack, a Bloomberg Gadfly columnist covering retail, discusses news that Michael Kors is buying Jimmy Choo for $1.2 billion.

Greece's debt crisis burst back on to the economic and political agenda today following an extraordinary row at the top of the International Monetary Fund, the body overseeing the Greek government's bailout programme. In simple terms some of the IMF's board members think Greece's debt is "unsustainable", so some of it may need to be written off, whilst others passionately disagree. We'll have reaction from Athens from economist Dr Michael Arghyrou and journalist Katerina Btazak. The pledge to build a wall along the US-Mexican border was a key election promise from President Trump. The BBC's Hugh Sykes reports from the southern US state of Arizona on what businesses and politicians along the border make of the plans. It might sound something of an oxymoron - car companies looking to develop something other than cars - but that's apparently exactly what some of the biggest players in the industry are doing. Mark Garrison from the US business radio programme Marketplace explains all. The BBC's Fergus Nicoll will be joined throughout the programme from New York by Mark Garrison, from New Dehli by Jyoti Malhotra, senior journalist and president of the South Asian Women in Media (SAWM) group, and they'll also be joined from Hong Kong by the BBC's Juliana Liu.

Giovanni Zanalda is an Associate Research Professor at the Social Science Research Institute, Economics, and History and Director of the Duke Center for International Studies and Area International Studies. He is an economic historian specialized in financial history and history of development and globalization. The deepening of the Greek financial crisis has forced the inhabitants of some Greek cities and islands to use Alternative Local Currencies called TEM or Volos. In this talk we will show how the use of emergency money, which has a long history dating back to the time of the Peloponnesian Wars, has enabled economies to function under duress whether wars or financial crises. The talk will also cover issues related to the Greek debt crisis and the Eurozone. Zanalda’s lecture is presented by the John Hope Franklin Center and the Duke University Center for International Studies.

What is the so-called "Greek Debt Crisis"? Is it simply the result of economic mismanagement by the Greek people and their successive governments, or is there more to it than meets the eye? Joining us to answer this question, we welcome once again Dr. Paul Craig Roberts (former US Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy), who explains that the crisis is not fundamentally about debt at all, but rather the playing out of a strategy by the political and financial elites to establish two main principles: the looting of European countries by the "One Percent", and the systematic destruction of their national sovereignty. We also discuss the Iran Nuclear Deal and the recent address by UK Prime Minister David Cameron on "extremism" (described by Glenn Greenwald as "one of the creepiest and most authoritarian speeches you'll ever hear.")

The good news is that this past week 7-13-2015 to 7-17-15 mortgage rates dipped down a little bit to the lowest point so far in July. The price on mortgage rates had been in a steady upward climb for a while. The biggest influence causing our mortgage rate movement is the economy overseas, the European Quantitative Easing, The Greek Debt situation, the Chinese stock market crash and our own Federal Reserve comments.

What does the debt situation in Greece mean to Self-Directed Investors like you and me?  Should it change the way you invest here at home?  I’m Bryan Ellis, I’ll tell you the answer right now in Episode #99--------Hello my friends.  Today’s topic is a little bit wonky, and I promise you right now that I will not bury you with too many facts and figures or archaic economic terms.  I’d really rather spend this time telling you about the great results our clients are getting, but I’ll skip that for now. Folks, there’s a real crisis in Greece.  The bottom line is this:  That government has been spending money like it’s going out of style, and the growth of the economy simply hasn’t kept pace to justify it.  It’s a huge, huge, huge problem… and that’s putting it lightly.This government debt problem in Greece is so bad that it’s literally altering the face of geopolitics as we speak.  Greece is the perfect picture of what happens when government gets too big, and tries to act more like a nanny state than a political organization.Can you imagine that?  I mean, what if the government was willing to pay for everything for citizens from cell phones to high speed internet connections?Oh wait, I’m sorry, that’s right here in the United States.  Now back to Greece.But just a minute… there’s a lesson in the parallel between the debt situations of the United States and Greece… a parallel which is sobering and enlightening, if you look closely.So here’s the thing about Greece.  Their national debt is presently 177% of GDP.  So, in other words, Greece owes nearly twice as much money as the total amount of every penny they produce every single year.  As a result, Greece’s debt payments are so high that the other obligations of the government – all of the ridiculous benefits they’ve promised to their citizens – simply cannot be satisfied.Greece is broke.  Well, not true.  They’re far below broke.  The country is bankrupt.  And that is the natural end of the socialist policies that have been aggressively employed there.But here’s the thing:  while Greece is a whole country, the fact is this:  In the grand scheme of the entire world, it’s not much.  Greece makes up about 1.8% of the Eurozone economy.  All of America’s exports to Greece amounts to a few thousands of one percent.  So the direct impact won’t be felt in America at all, and only as a nuisance in the Eurozone.But still, there are two valuable pieces of learning that you and I as Self Directed Investors can garner from the situation.  And they are: See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tony Abbott's Press Club address will do little to calm detractors, even his catchy line about trying to stay out of the "Weak Government Club". More credible, perhaps, is the new Greek finance minister - economist Steve Keen joins us to explain what he's up to.

Ben Bennett, credit strategist at the UK financial services firm Legal & General, shares his outlook on the Greek debt crisis.

Fear is growing that Greece may default on a massive pile of debt creating a ripple effect of problems throughout Europe and beyond. Following pressure from the European Union and the European Central Bank the Greek government on March 3 announced a new round of austerity measures that include spending cuts and tax increases which critics fear will harm Greece's economy. Meanwhile Wall Street banks are facing scrutiny for the complex financial instruments they used to allegedly disguise the country's real debt. What caused Greece's debt problem to spin out of control? And what steps should it take to remedy the situation? Wharton finance professors Richard Herring and Itay Goldstein weigh in.
