The IMF,
World Bank and ECB must immediately recognize and understand that Greece, like other
poor countries or developing ones that have enormous unsustainable odious
debts have very little capacity to repay such a debt.
Further it
is morally and economically appropriate for Greece to refuse and question or
recognize the legitimacy of this odious debt forced upon the Greek people and
their economy.
Greece its
government and citizens must not be held in this position of having to borrow more just to service debt. And no
longer be asked to service such a debt when it has little to no trade surpluses
on an annual basis.
The only way
for Greece to get out from under its debt is similar to that of how Germany got
out of its debts after World War 2
The current
Greek repayable amount must be reduced by 50% and stretched out over 35 years.
Also, such a new agreement must state that repayments on this reduced loan are
due only when Greece has a trade surplus and that repayments be limited to 5%
of export earnings.
This would
give the E U countries, the EU central bank and all creditors a powerful
incentive to import Greek goods and thus greatly assisting Greece's new
reconstruction.
