The economist
boss of the Fund Monetary International esteem that the Greek efforts are
insufficient. He doesn't tell me anything new that already knows it for years
what they don't say it is still that behind Greece, Spain goes because the
conditions are then the same ones in general the problem finally it will be the
same one neither Greece neither Spain they will be able to dry the fiscal and
commercial deficits, neither the sovereign debts
It is said of
the mountaineers that should have vision to 1 meter, 10 meters and 100 meters.
What they suggest the debates of the authorized economists that me in the last
seminar organized by the BCE in Sintra. It is that we don't have a very clear
vision to 100 meters. But we have a good vision to 1 meter and 10, a clear idea
of the address to take at the moment. This is not completely soothing but it is
not catastrophic.
What I am
surprised of this philosophy is the width of the economists' aims and bankers
of the central bank, I have always said that each one should look that is to
say according to their own responsibility and position a worker in an assembly
chain he should look at what comes to 1 meter, the boss of assemblies what
comes to 10 meters and the production director should see what comes to 100
meters and if the parameters are changed everything one comes below.
Imagine that
the production director passes the time in looking at what comes or it passes to
a first meter it hinders the operative and the assembly boss because they will
be pending of his observations and while that passes to a hundred meters the
assembly chain it is breaking for blame of a monumental jam of cars or pieces
what you want when they realize the three there will no longer be solution the
chain he stopped hopelessly. For this reason the situation in Greece is
irreversible today and for that reason it will also be it in Spain the rescues
of the IMF the BCE and the UE they have made the effect to the meter of the
chain they didn't see further on, no matter how much they say now the opposite,
alone I interest that you solves the moment nobody he was devoted to see what
it would pass a hundred meters further on.
Would it have
been possible to get a slower budgetary consolidation? Had bill of the gigantic
deficit budgetary initial, if it had been opted to reduce it more slowly,
should the granted financial helps still have been bigger than what they have
been? I believe that not, seeing the point in which Greece, the necessary
adjustment was at any rate gigantic and a limit existed to what the official
creditors were willing to give. Today this point do is they are prepared in
Spain and this situation to the Greek it will happen in the first trimester of
2016.
The IMF
maintains a flexible posture on what Athens should make once finally a coherent
program is presented. According to the plans foreseen in the program, the
budgetary balance of the State should hurtle this year a surplus of 3%. We knew
many that this would be probably impossible for economic and political
questions. To revise the surplus to the drop on a paper is possible but it is
necessary to be clear: this implies the necessity of a new financing that requires
the help of all the Europeans clearing it is always that they seek to let that
Greece continues living to coast of the UE during all its existence.
Now then, this
alone it would work if, in compensation, a coherent program exists. Keeping in
mind the last estimates that verify a substantial budgetary deficit at the
moment, is necessary to establish viable measures to transform this deficit in
surplus and to maintain this surplus in the future. In view of that proposed up
to now, we are still very far too much more than 100 meters. This makes us
wonder again where to save in the budgets of Greece. Is what is evident that
the system of pensions is often too generous that there are even too many
officials, etc? This also implies to consider how structural measures are
essential to guarantee sustainable growth to half term but is it also that of
here 100 meters the same situation arrived in Spain and possibly in 200 meters
in Italy the question is somebody there is looking toward there?
Several crisis
scenarios exist that go from the control of the capitals until the exit of the
euro. The IMF the BCE and the UE hope to avoid them all. Mario Draghi has made
an alive call to all the governments of the area euro so that they don't wait
more to carry out the reformations. Does it exist the certainty that this will
change the situation? The area euro should solve two problems. In the first
place, the demand should increase to elevate the production level until which
corresponds to its potential.
Mario Draghi
says with reason that its work of central banker is in fact this. But the area
euro has another problem, an industrial and commercial index potential of very
weak growth. To increase it doesn't depend on the central bank. This requires
them to be carried out reformations on the part of the offer and the demand.
Are they able to the reformations to increase the index of growth from the
production to half term of what way? Nobody is sure of the answer, but that is
not reason for not to attempt it for the next meter and not to wait to that the
a hundred end up following and let us realize that the economic chain in this
case broke.
