“Under the bailout plan supported by French and German leaders, Greek bondholders would buy new Greek debt when existing bonds mature. The challenge, however, is to entice investors to lend money to Greece at interest rates that are far lower than what the market is currently demanding.

There is no “quick and easy solution,” he said (…) German banks have said they want guarantees from the Berlin government if they participate in the aid package and buy new Greek bonds. But the German government opposes this idea, as this would defeat the purpose of sharing some of the risk of the bailout with the banks, a person familiar with the negotiations said.”, na edição de hoje do WSJ.
