ECB’s Noyer: Greek debt restructuring would equate to default, Greece would gain nothing
- Greek default or exit from euro would be “horror scenario”
- Extending Greek debt maturities would pose complicated legal questions, could be read as default
- A restructuring would cut Greece off from markets, ECB financing: “No one would want to finance Greece”
- Restructuring would make Greek debt unacceptable as collateral for central banks
- If Greece goes off track with EU/IMF programme its debt would no longer be acceptable as collateral for ECB
- Greece has no alternative to implementing EU/IMF programme “completely and entirely,” must use privatisation to cut debt
