From a marketwatch article today. Trichet, at his monthly news conference, said default is “not an issue” for Greece. He also warned against taking “lightly” a “very, very serious commitment” by euro-zone leaders to shore up Greece through a joint European-International Monetary Fund standby aid plan if Athens finds itself unable to meet its financing needs. Read about Trichet’s news conference.
The remarks could be taken as a signal that authorities will back Greece when forced to do so, said Jim Reid, strategist at Deutsche Bank.
