BEIJING, Feb. 1 (Xinhuanet) -- Greece's economy minister Georgios
Stathakis has said it would be better to link the country's debt
repayments to its economic growth rate, since it needs a feasible
solution to bring its sovereign debt under control.
Stathakis said in an interview that at this moment Greece spends
around five percent of its gross domestic product on paying its debt. He
suggested if growth was higher, Greece would pay more, but if it's
lower, his country would pay less.
Athens faces about 10 billion euros in repayments this summer and is
shut out of international bond markets while it waits for a final
bailout package from international lenders amounting to 7.2 billion
euros.
