Mody, Ashoka, (2017), “The IMF Should Get Out of Greece”, Bloomberg, 3 Φεβρουαρίου
The IMF should never have gotten into Greece in the first place. As late as March 2010, with concerns about the Greek government’s ability to pay its debts roiling markets, Europe’s leaders wanted the IMF to stay away. Europeans feared that the fund’s financial assistance to one of their own would signal broader weakness in the currency union. As Jean-Claude Juncker famously put it: “If California had a refinancing problem, the United States wouldn’t go to the IMF.”
O Ashoka Mody είχε μιλήσει στα πλαίσια του Ευρωπαϊκού Σεμιναρίου του ΕΛΙΑΜΕΠ το 2016 στην ενότητα με θέμα “Does monetary union remain dysfunctional, and if so, what are the chances for reform?”
