At the same time, the servicing cost remains low (at under 1.8%), the average debt maturity exceeds 18 years, and annual funding needs remain at low levels (nearly 5.4% of GDP long term).<\/p>\n<p>Pierrakakis further said that the confidence of markets in Greece was evident from the high demand for Greek bonds and the lower lending interest rates, placing Greece closer to countries like Spain and France.<\/p>\n<p>These facts confirm that Greece is reducing its debt and making it entirely sustainable, releasing future generations from burdens that are not theirs, the minister noted.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n        var NXFBPixelFunc = function () {\n            document.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n            setTimeout(function () {\n                !function (f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                    if (f.fbq) return;\n                    n = f.fbq = function () {\n                        n.callMethod ?\n                            n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments)\n                    };\n                    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                    n.push = n;\n                    n.loaded = !0;\n                    n.version = '2.0';\n                    n.queue = [];\n                    t = b.createElement(e);\n                    t.async = !0;\n                    t.src = v;\n                    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s)\n                }(window, document, 'script',\n                    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n                fbq('init', '109138906120213');\n                fbq('track', 'PageView');\n            }, 0)\n        };\n        document.addEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekathimerini.com\/economy\/1302585\/greek-debt-management-underlies-market-confidence\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eurogroup president and National Economy and Finance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis.
