One thing notable about Greece’s is that
interest-rate on government-bonds is exceptionally high compared to its euro-zone
peers, but, debt is not too much high in comparison. Others yields are closer
to the ECB rates which leaves a lot of room to refinance the debt at much lower
rates... Greece government can sell bonds at yields little higher than peers,
but much below their current rates... it will find the buyers easily... Debt to
repay debt, but at much lower rates ... Greece’s debt, probably, is not so much
burdensome, if we adjust the interest-payments... They are sky-high... Not,
sure who decides bond-yields in Greece, but it must be the treasury of the
government, but, again, there is no central-bank to run QE to reduce overall
rates... Government bond-yields decide direction of other assets in the
economy... and hope other rates are also high... This could be a factor
responsible for high unemployment and deflationary bias... Interest-rates are
very high during recession... How does it will help the economy in recovery? Moreover
deflation is high... High interest-rate and deflation points that real-interest
rates are too high which is deteriorating the investment and employment...
There are clear reasons why investment is not picking up within the country and
unemployment is high... Internal-devaluation to increase competitiveness and
employment at a time when the country can go for domestic demand will even hurt
the domestic income and consumption...
