1:18 pm
means that despite hopes of an upward trend the reality for ordinary people may not be improving but it appears that reforms are taking hold so is greece finally on the mend that's what i asked andy carroll in essence. well the simple answer is yes and no the numbers are looking better on paper as you say growth is seemingly resuming the unemployment is seemingly. coming coming down but still there are a lot more reforms that have to happen and in the real economy in the pocket of every greek that reform that progress is yet to be found the creditors are still a little apprehensive and want to be certain that greece sticks to its reforms which it has completed which it has been pursuing and this release of eight
