AnĀ agreement with the lenders is expected to be reached in the Holy Week, Greek Economy Minister George StathakisĀ told SKAI TV on Wednesday.
“I take it for granted that the agreement will close soon and will lead to the disbursement of funds for Greece and to the next medium-term agreement,” he noted.
“The government will abolish the opening of stores on Sundays,” Stathakis added.
Regarding the regional airports, he said that “a discussion will be held with the German joint venture that has been selected on the improvement of the terms as well as on the participation of the public sector and the concession period (50 years), which he termed as extravagant.”
RegardingĀ the Piraeus port, he said that a multi-share system is being examined with the participation of the public sector and not a 100 percent privatisation.
He also noted that the model chosen for the construction of the motorway concession has collapsed because there was an overestimation of the potential of the construction of such roads with bank financing.
For the problem caused with those who have taken loans in Swiss Francs, he explained that before legislating, the ministry will first wait the ruling of the court.
Speaking onĀ bad loans, he said: “the Greek government is considering the creation of a fund with social features, that will operate out of the banking system.”
Finally, on the submission of a proposal to set up an investigating committee, he said that “if the procedure is carried out in a proper way … light will be shed on an important period.”
