Povećanje cijena kad je Grčka usvojila euro kao valutu i laki uslovi kreditiranja bili su glavni uzroci aktuelne ekonomske krize, uz generacije politički podobnih uposlenih na javnom budžetu, korupciju, neplaćanje poreza, nekonkurentnu privredu i nedostatak stranih investicija.
The rise in prices when Greece adopted the euro as a currency and easy credit were major causes of the current economic crisis, along with generations of packing political hires onto the public payroll, corruption, tax evasion, an uncompetitive economy and lack of foreign investment.
