Greece and the euro

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The Greek Prime Minister may have won his confidence vote in parliament but the next hurdle is to approve painful budget cuts demanded by the EU and IMF. The BBC's Manuela Saragosa reports from Athens on how the squeeze is affecting ordinary people and businesses. So should Greece now abandon the euro? Charles Dumas of Lombard Street Research tells Lesley Curwen that giving Greece more money to stay in the eurozone is throwing good money after bad. And the BBC's Business Editor Robert Peston answers listeners' questions about the Greek crisis.
