Comments from Greek government spokesman Tzanakopoulos

  • There is no justification for new austerity measures

  • Greece expects the IMF to be more reasonable

  • Germany must also adopt a more reasonable approach

  • Greek GDP data confirms the economy's recovery (Q4 GDP was out earlier, -0.4% vs 0.9% prior q/q, 0.3% vs 2.2% prior y/y. Great recovery there ;-) )

  • Greece expects to close the review successfully

Strong words from someone looking for many more favours.
