Greece - officials hopeful of bond swap acceptance
Published on Mar 8, 2012 by Euronews
http://www.euronews.com/
In Greece, Thursday was deadline day for a bond swap offer to private
creditors. If more than two-thirds accept it it will lead to the release
of a 130 billion euros in bailout funds to save the Greek economy.Hours ahead of the 21:00 CET deadline, holders of nearly 57 percent of the total 206 billion euros in outstanding debt were already committed. They included major banks and pension funds.
"This recapitalisation will be significant and will be necessary as to allow the Greek banking system to extend credit again to the real economy," said Plato Monokroussos, Head of Financial Markets Research at Eurobank, Athens.
It is in the real economy that the money is desperately needed.
New unemployment figures released on Thursday showed Greece's jobless total reached a record 21 percent of the workforce in December. Severe budget cuts have caused a wave of business closures and bankruptcies.
Greece's problems are so severe, it has no credibility to raise money directly from the international financial markets. Analysts say the bond swap is the only way Athens can stave off a default.

http://www.euronews.com/
Sydney has been hit by its heaviest rainfall in five years, shuttering
public transport links and prompting dozens of evacuations.
Several major roads have been closed, some train stations have been flooded, and power reportedly cut to around 300 homes.
The downpour follows days of heavy flooding across New South Wales, the state's heaviest in nearly four decades.
Rising water levels have cut the central town of Forbes in three and an evacuation order has now been issued.
The nearby Lachlan river is expected to peak at 10.6 metres later on Thursday.
A levee surrounding Forbes is 11 metres high.
Further south in Wagga Wagga, the flooding has eased slightly but hundreds are still unable to return to their homes
