“We are ringing a bell, not a bell at the banks, he said about the loans”
“We are doing everything necessary to have the best possible result and the one that will bring profit for the country” said the government representative Yannis Oikonomou on the show “Today” on SKAI. confirming the publication of “Kathimerini” for expansion of research by ExxonMobil, in the area of Crete.
At the same time, Mr. Economou added that there is interest from a second company to carry out investigations. “These are actions that are carried out within the framework of the original plan, which is well thought out. We are moving forward based on the schedule, always respecting international law,” he noted.
“Ready for any episode”
When asked about a possible challenge from the investigations of the Turkish “Abdulamid Khan”, Mr. Economou replied that “we have shown that we react effectively to challenges. We are ready to answer every episode. We are ready to face any challenge. Whoever thinks of doing something will be 3 times and 4 times worried as he also meets the denial of our partners. Anyone who flirts with revisionism finds against him all the forces from around the world.”
“We ring a bell, not a bell in the banks”
Referring to the interest rates on loans, Mr. Economou said that the government is “pressing the banks to come to an agreement for better conditions for borrowers who are in trouble. Interest rates are increasing and as the banks tell us they will increase even more. We must avoid a new generation of bad loans. Banks must think and, for example, increase deposit rates that are currently at zero.
There are ways that banks have used in the past, such as extending loans. The government’s support to the citizens in recent years with moves such as subsidizing loan installments also has a positive dimension of the citizens’ obligations to the banks and this should be appreciated and they should make moves to help.”
Regarding the protection of the first home, Mr. Economou emphasized that “the government has given many possibilities to protect the first home.
We tried to make a legislative framework in which to support those who are aware but without protecting the bad guys, the bad payers.
Let’s remember that during SYRIZA, 30,000 complete auctions took place in 2018, while the auction of Ms. Kolovou was also announced then. Who legislated for the funds? SYRIZA. But Mr. Tsipras went and sold solidarity to Kolovos. Hypocrisy does not help in these cases.
We are ringing not a bell but a bell to the banks to help since the state budget does not have unlimited possibilities. It is in the interest of all of us to avoid a new generation of bad loans,” the government spokesman noted.
