Yields on two-year Greek debt have fallen a whopping 46 basis points to 4.85 per cent, making the country\u2019s debt easily the best-performing sovereign bonds in Europe today (a bond\u2019s yield falls when its price rises).<\/p>\n<p>Among the cabinet reshuffle, Dimitri Papadimitriou, head of the US-based Levy Economics Institute, was a surprise appointment as economy minister with responsibility for disbursing EU structural funds.<\/p>\n<p>Finance minister Euclid Tsakaltos and his deputy George Chouliarakis both kept their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tsipras also ditched three hard-left cabinet members \u2014 the culture, education and shipping ministers \u2014 but gave a new post to Panos Scourletis, a fierce critic of the bailout reforms who had earlier turned down the coveted position of Syriza party secretary.<\/p>\n<p>A recent poll by Public Issue found the leftist Syriza has fallen 24 points behind its resurgent opposition party, the centre-right New Democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Eurozone finance ministers will discuss Greece at their latest meeting in Brussels today but are not expected to make any substantial progress with the country\u2019s second bailout review before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The new look cabinet is an attempt by Mr Tsipras to show his \u201cwillingness to finish the review, force a discussion between Berlin and the IMF over debt relief and hope for an economic recovery that would provide the government with some much needed breathing room\u201d, said Mujtaba Rahman at Eurasia group.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts at French bank Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale do not expect the bailout review to be concluded before the first quarter of next year, with clouds still hanging over the IMF\u2019s participation in the rescue deal. The fund will carry out a sustainability analysis on Greece\u2019s 180 per cent debt pile before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/ab4686c1-f1fa-3fb1-ae89-12a315b262ee\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div data-animation=\"no-animation\" data-icons-animation=\"no-animation\" data-overlay=\"\" data-change-size=\"\" data-button-size=\"0.7\" style=\"font-size:0.7em!important;display:none;\" class=\"supsystic-social-sharing supsystic-social-sharing-package-flat supsystic-social-sharing-content supsystic-social-sharing-content-align-left\" data-text=\"\"><a data-networks=\"[]\" class=\"social-sharing-button sharer-flat sharer-flat-1 counter-arrowed facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbestinsurance.gr%2Fa1%2Farchives%2F11945\" data-main-href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u={url}\" data-nid=\"1\" data-name=\"\" data-pid=\"1\" data-post-id=\"11945\" data-url=\"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-mailto=\"\"><i class=\"fa-ssbs fa-ssbs-fw fa-ssbs-facebook\"><\/i><div class=\"counter-wrap arrowed\"><span class=\"counter\">0<\/span><\/div><\/a><a data-networks=\"[]\" class=\"social-sharing-button sharer-flat sharer-flat-1 counter-arrowed twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbestinsurance.gr%2Fa1%2Farchives%2F11945&text=Greek+bonds+soar+as+Tsipras+ditches+hard-left+ministers\" data-main-href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url={url}&text={title}\" data-nid=\"2\" data-name=\"\" data-pid=\"1\" data-post-id=\"11945\" data-url=\"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-mailto=\"\"><i class=\"fa-ssbs fa-ssbs-fw fa-ssbs-twitter\"><\/i><div class=\"counter-wrap arrowed\"><span class=\"counter\">0<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><p>Greek bonds soar as Tsipras ditches hard-left ministers.The Greek prime minister\u2019s move to replace hard-left ministers in a cabinet reshuffle has sent the country\u2019s bonds soaring this morning to their best day since July.Amid wavering support in the polls, Syriza\u2019s prime minister Alexis Tsipras announced a shakeup of his cabinet on Friday, replacing critics of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11946,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-1"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11945"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11945\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11947,"href":"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11945\/revisions\/11947"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bestinsurance.gr\/a1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
