PRESIDENT OBAMA PROMISES TO “CONTINUE TO URGE CREDITORS” TO GET GREECE BACK TO GROWTH

On Wednesday, last day of his official visit to Athens, US President Barack Obama gave his assurance that Greece will continue to enjoy his country’s core support, while at the same time expressed his personal commitment that he will continue to urge the debt-ridden country’s creditors to adopt policies that will put Greece on the road to recovery.

“You will continue to have the core support of the United States, and at the same time I will continue to urge creditors to take the steps needed to put Greece on a path towards sustained economic recovery,” he said during a speech in Athens, his last European trip before handing over the helm of the US Presidency to Donald Trump in January.

“As Greece continues to implement reforms, the IMF has said that debt relief will be crucial to get Greece back to growth. They are right.”
