Greece Has No Debt Problem for a Decade, Says ESM Head, Wall Street Journal - “In the short-term, there’s no problem,” Klaus Regling, managing director of the European Stability Mechanism, told reporters on Wednesday evening. While Greece’s national debt has risen to around 180% of its gross domestic product since the financial crisis, that is “not relevant if you’re paying 1% interest,” he said. Athens is currently paying less for its debt, relatively speaking, than the governments of France or Belgium, Mr. Regling said, thanks to his fund’s cheap loans".
