Stathakis: Settlement of bad loans among our first priorities

A legislation for the settlement of the bad loans is among the government's first priorities, said Economy, Infrastructures, Shipping and Tourism Minister George Stathakis in an interview to Sunday newspaper Realnews also clarifying that the measure on the opening of stores on Sundays will be withdrawn.

"We are seeking a radical relief of the debtors and a total settlement of the private debts with strong social criteria" said Stathakis and explained "we will focus on the households below the poverty line".

The minister opined that "if we want to return to growth then the enlargement of the Public Investments Programme is of high importance. However, its orientation must change and must focus on small and medium sized infrastructure works that will be able to create economies of scale as well as to support the exports activity" he underlined.
