Buy a few warships, France tells Greece 7:46am EDT Greece's Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou delivers a speech during an investment conference in Athens March 23, 2010. Credit: Reuters/John Kolesidis ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece wants a European solution to its debt crisis and expects positive results from a European Union summit on March 25-26, Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said on Tuesday. World Germany and its EU partners are in disagreement over financial support for Greece, whose debt load is seen hitting 120.4 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) this year. On Monday Chancellor Angela Merkel continued to rebuff calls for a support deal this week. "Greece is not going to the EU summit as a beggar. There must be a political mechanism to ensure the stability of the euro zone and support the efforts made by every country," Papaconstantinou told an investment conference in Athens. "We want a European solution," he said. Merkel, facing opposition in Germany to any bailout for Greece, has said there is no need to discuss an aid mechanism at the summit starting on Thursday since Athens has not sought help and that aid would only be a last resort in a case of insolvency. Papaconstantinou would not go into details regarding the shape financial support could take. "The worst thing you can do before a summit is to make predictions and scenarios," he said. He reiterated the government's position that Greece faces no problem funding its debt via financial markets but that it wants to do so at lower borrowing costs. Greece is paying about twice the rate Germany pays to refinance maturing debt. The premium investors demand to hold Greek government debt rather than euro zone benchmark Bunds tightened after Papaconstantinou's comments. The Greek/German 10-year bond yield spread narrowed to 330 basis points from around 344 bps at Monday's settlement close. "We want to play by euro zone rules. Greece has full access to financial markets as it proved with its recent 10-year bond sale. Obviously, we would like the spreads to fall but I believe this will gradually happen as the stability program is implemented," Papaconstantinou said. Papaconstantinou reiterated data released two weeks ago showing that in the first two months of the year the central government deficit narrowed by 77 percent, with revenues increasing 13 percent and spending falling by about 10 percent. "Does this mean this very good trend will continue over the next months? Nothing is certain but we are starting from a good base," he said. The figures, which include a one-off corporate levy cashed in the first two months of the year, refer to the central government deficit, not the general government shortfall measured under euro zone rules. They therefore do not offer a complete picture. The general government deficit includes hefty spending areas such as welfare and pension payments.

What do they want? They got money and they ate it. Now they have a problem and they need help but not really but actually they have a crisis. They need money and a lot of it and they shouls start by cleaning their country first. Trikeriotis Report As Abusive Mar 23, 2010 6:19am EDT It is quite possible that Greece’s next bond auction fails. Who is going to buy ‘risky’ Greece when during the remainder of this year their will be many billions of dollars up for purchase from most other EU countries? Without the IMF or EU I do think Greece will now be unable to sell its bonds. Their are juicer and safer pastures with Italy and Spain to come not to mention French. However if Greece fails these other countries will suffer higher margins. EU needs to provide a definitive solution for Greece soon otherwise total confidence will be lost in the EU, and EU cost of funding will increase thereafter. Kina Report As Abusive Mar 23, 2010 7:02am EDT Lack of clarity coming from the EU is just classic Story_Burn Report As Abusive Mar 23, 2010 8:17am EDT Greece is in financial mess, but is denying that it needs aid. Why hide ailment when u hv gone to the doctor for treatment? Do they think it will do them any better? I think that the solution to each and every problem begins with acceptance that there is a problem in the first place that needs correction. milkel Report As Abusive Mar 23, 2010 8:40am EDT people are not realising the hidden danger in bailing out Greece : Other such countries in the Eurozone will immediately line up for similar treatment, which can be counter-productive. Secondly, the speculators will become more aggressive about the debts of other such countries like Spain, Italy and Portugal. This may become just too much of a burden. Incidentally, an Italian friend was complaining that joining the Eurozone did no good at all to Italy, on the contrary the prices rose suddenly reducing the real incomes of people drastically. At that time the more prominent members of EU Germany, et al, benefitted by reduced prices. I think now’s the payback time for them…let us see how long this three-legged race continues….. milkel Report As Abusive Mar 23, 2010 10:19am EDT The cunning greeks want to eat more money, be careful. cpgp Report As Abusive Mar 23, 2010 10:22am EDT milkel – I have heard the same from Greeks who state that their economy got worse with the EU. The Greeks are in an unfortunate position in that they are not a manufacturing country. They rely on tourism and exporting some agricultural products. American tourism has dropped considerably with the drop in the value of the dollar. I used to visit frequently but can no longer afford it.
