1:34 pm
some of these austerity measures, but talk to us in terms of pure economics. what has this done to the economy of greece? just stepping back, this latest impasse is not good news. we did know that an impasse of this type would go on for quite some time and probably right at the till the end of the wire. that's what is unfolding today. we expect is that some breakthrough will come, that a breakthrough or an accommodation to greece will come from its european creditors and that's our best scenario as reflected in our rating and negative outlook. in terms of the economy, things are tough in greece. these are very tough negotiations and tough decisions, choices between pensions and debt service name and is always very difficult. this mr. ambassador, at
1:35 pm
point, the creditors believe greece needs to stick to the --ms of the payout agreement the bailout agreement that was in place for the current prime minister took office. but he campaigned on a ledge to roll back some of these measures . he called them draconian and said they were harmful to the greece economy. where do we stand right now? where's the compromise? guest: that is exactly right. with respect to the greek dimension, you have to look at the politics. this government was elected on wouldoposition that they give the greek people a better deal, they would be tougher with respect to the europeans. their standpoint, politically, if they do what the greeks call a somersault and agreed to tighten austerity as creditors are demanding, then it could well be the end of the
1:36 pm
coalition behind the prime minister and the government may fall, there may be a new government put together. in 2012, there is a government of national unity that was put together in analogous circumstances. on the other hand, should the ,overnment push until the end greece gets cut off for financing and it's hard to imagine the government could survive that either. from a political standpoint, as you look forward, regardless of how the next two or three weeks proceed, there is likely to be political, ultimate greece. whether ardless of greece reached, whether avoids default, how damaged is the country in the eyes of international investors?
1:37 pm
guest: the country is certainly in a tough situation right now. they want relief and they would like some relief in terms of time to reduce the interest burden on the budget. relief, theike austerity measures that were agreed to this part of the original bailout package are viewed by the current government as too strong and the current government would like a primary balance of something like 1% whereas the bailout package is looking for something more like 4%. difference is a big number in terms of what the government can spend. outainly how this shakes will affect great possibility to act on capital markets in the
1:38 pm
future and its ability to stick with the bailout program or a future agreed program would play large in the minds of creditors going forward. mr. ambassador, you served as u.s. ambassador to greece during the presidency of george w. bush. were there warning signs then? this is not something that happened overnight. you see signs back then that greece was headed toward a financial disaster? i cannot claim complete foreknowledge. it would have been hard for anyone to anticipate. but one thing we did see is the center-right government elect it platformame in on a under which they were going to tackle greece's fundamental problems.
1:39 pm
tougher onoing to be the size and scale of the state ,nd reform the education system all of which was certainly needed. but greek politics are tumultuous and there were demonstrations and violence, student anarchists, all kinds of opponents to the government's measures emerge very quickly. in my time, the government both suggested reforms and when it encountered resistance, pulled back. those pullbacks were worrisome for many of greece's friends, that i wasn't able to tackle the fundamental structures holding it back. feet -- speaking of structural problems, where does greece go even if it dodges this bullet? what effect has it had on the
1:40 pm
rest of the eurozone? >> greece has made a tremendous amount of progress through the last couple of years since the bailout package with privatization and reform of the government sector in the labor market. where greece is one of the more competitive labor market today in the euro area, probably two people surprise. still, there's a long way to go. we have seen some backsliding of those reforms and measures and the question is that what hayes can they continue to commit to reform and meet the bailout package terms and still achieve the political platforms greece set out when it took office in january. for the broader contagion risks, are central area remains that greece will find an agreement with its creditors.
1:41 pm
there may be additional time allowed for them to meet their but they will agree ultimately and if they don't, if for some reason, default or exit hit to occur, probably a europe loss growth prospects would be likely to be short-lived. europe will recover with or without greece. term, probably some contagion risks for europe and those are most susceptible to that would be periphery countries like spain, italy and portugal which would be more susceptible to rising interest rates or lack of investor confidence. those are risks we cannot underestimate at this point. thank you both so much. ahead, we will look at how important the new film, "inside
