ATHENS: The distance separating Athens from Brussels in the ongoing negotiations remains great, with European officials estimating that Greece will have to promise additional measures this year in order to reach an agreement with its creditors on the fiscal and macroeconomic figures.
Sources say Brussels expects that the Greece economy will see growth of between 0 and 0.5 percent at best this year, while the primary budget balance will range between 0 and a deficit of 0.5 percent of GDP. And that is provided the Single Property Tax (ENFIA) continues to apply as it did in 2014.
