Greek bailout: 5 key conditions set by EU

European Union leaders agreed to a €130 billion ($172 billion) bailout deal for Greece early this morning after a long night of negotiations. Here are five key elements of the bailout deal.

Debt write-off

According to the agreement, private investors will forgive 53.5 percent of Greek debt they hold – a write-off of 107 billion euros, according to The Wall Street Journal. This is more than the 50 percent over which private investors previously haggled.

The agreement requires a sign-off by private investors, represented by the Institute of International Finance (IIF). The IIF director told CNN that he expects a high participation rate in the write-off among the organization’s members, but that the decision is up to each individual investor. According to the IIF, the agreement is “the largest sovereign debt restructuring in history.”

CNN reports that the restructuring will result in significant losses for private investors, making it unlikely the 95 percent participation goal will be achieved. If too many investors reject the deal, its terms will need to be renegotiated, holding up the implementation of the bailout and making a default in March – when Greek debt comes due – once again a possibility.

According to the Associated Press, 66 percent participation is the absolute minimum for the deal to be viable.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”
