Greek finance minister: Economic recovery in sight
Greece's finance minister says he believes Greece's battered economy will begin to recover starting next year, with the country's massive unemployment rate starting to fall from the end of 2014 onwards.
Speaking in an interview broadcast Thursday morning on state-run NET television, Yannis Stournaras said the government's aim was to achieve a primary surplus – a surplus without taking into account interest payments on outstanding debt – by the end of this year. Stournaras says this would allow the country to ask its international creditors for some further debt relief. (AP)
