Amid fears that the crisis could spill over to other members of the Eurozone, Prime Minister George Papandreou's cabinet presented a four-year austerity plan earlier this year, pledging to cut the deficit to 8.7% of GDP this year and bring it to below the EU limit by the end of 2012.
U trenutku bojazni kako bi se kriza mogla preliti na druge zemlje članice Eurozone, vlada premijera George Papandreoua predstavila je ranije ove godine četverogodišnji plan štednje, obećavajući smanjiti proračunski manjak na 8,7 posto BDP-a ove godine i svesti ga ispod granice EU do konca 2012. godine.
