Task Force head Horst Reichenbach, speaking in an interview with the Sunday newspaper Ethnos tis Kyriakis, makes the assessment that two or three years will be necessary for Greece to enter the path of growth again.

Reichenbach concedes that the results of the structural changes will not appear in one day and that many of the changes required will not be liked by society, but terms them beneficial for the economy and consequently for the citizens.

He also appears optimistic over the fact that a large number of people, countries and organisations are willing to help Greece for policies to be implemented that will lead to an exit from the crisis.
