EU: Greece deficit hits 10.5% of GDP in 2010

The EU's statistics agency says Greece's government deficit hit 10.5% of economic output last year, significantly above the 9.6% forecast in the fall. 

Eurostat said Tuesday that the country's debt swelled to 142.8% of gross domestic product, the highest in the eurozone and above the 140.2% the EU's executive Commission had predicted. (AP)
