  • Disorderly default of Greece would have disasterous impact on markets
  • Greece must make far-reaching reforms in exchange for more aid
  • Many people doubt that Greece will be able to pay back debt (we call them doubting thomases round these here parts)

  • Germany will not accept dilution of private sector language in ESM
