Greece has made a “strong start” but still faces “key challenges” in responding to its public finance crisis, despite making “considerable progress” across a wide front, EU, ECB and IMF auditors said on Thursday. Meanwhile the Greek government said today that it is more optimistic than the EU and IMF on how deep its recession will be this year, Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said on Thursday.
