Greek banks will need to face further challenges in the future, but they have the knowledge and the means to deal with them, Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister, Dimitris Liakos, who participated in the recent government meetings on the issue, said in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA). "The fundamentals of the banks and the constantly improving situation of the Greek economy are inconsistent with the stock market image," he underlined. Referring to the likelihood of pension cuts, he said that "we continue the effort but we cannot support an anti-social measure that is based on wrong estimates and is not part of the reform efforts."
