German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday said she saw a “change” in Greece’s attitude towards reform as she praised painful efforts made in Athens and Spain to overcome the eurozone debt crisis.
Addressing business executives in a speech in Berlin, Merkel said the eurozone had “come a long way along this sometimes exhausting path” in overcoming the three-year crisis but warned “we are not yet at the end.”
“We have seen in Spain the drive and commitment with which the Spanish government is working on improving its competitiveness,” she said.
And she added: “You can say a lot about Greece, but an awful lot has been done there — slower than we might have liked, maybe not as efficiently as we might have liked — but something has changed in their way of thinking.”
