Abstract

In early 2010, Greece's financial condition was unsustainable, necessitating the implementation of ambitious economic adjustment programs. The fiscal austerity measures launched by the Greek government in agreement with its official creditors ( IMF, ECB and European member states) led to a rather deep recession as GDP dropped by 25% and unemployment peaked at 25%. Households' income, corporations’ profit, as well as their debt-paying ability decreased significantly leading to a huge amount of non-performing loans (NPLs). This paper provides a complete analysis of the measures introduced by the Greek government to stabilize Greek banks and reduce NPLs ratio at single digits.
