While the focus, understandably, was on the European Central Bank overnight in Europe, there was a snippet about on Greece
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said Greece is "ready and determined" to exit its international bailout this time next year
- "We are absolutely ready and determined to move in this direction and I'm certain our lenders have the same approach of avoiding hurdles and delays,"
- "It is important not only for Greece, it is important for Europe,"
- "The final end of the Greek crisis will signal Europe's passage into a new era of less uncertainty."
Tsipras was speaking in a joint press conference in Athens with French President Emanuel Macron.

Greek concerns have been firmly on the backburner, if Tsipras proves correct they will be even more so.
