The Minister of Infrastructure Michalis Chrysochoidis recently gave an interview to the Bloomberg news agency, where he expressed his estimation that Greece will be in the position to return to the markets before the European elections in May.

Mr. Chrysochoidis explained that the return to the markets will come as a result of a series of positive developments for Greece, which are expected prior to the upcoming elections.

According to the Minister, Greece “will get the next loan tranche, the country will return to markets, with a slightly high interest rate, which will fall after, and Greece won’t remain in this drama of quarterly troika reviews”.

When asked about the upcoming European elections, Mr. Chrysochoidis remarked that he did not believe that their outcome will affect the political stability in Greece.
