Fast Market Research recommends "Greece Business Forecast Report Q1 2013" from Business Monitor International, now available

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 02/20/2013 --Core Views

The Greek economy will linger on in 2013 as deep fiscal retrenchment and internal devaluation take a damaging toll.

The prospect of further spending cuts and tax hikes will ensure that demonstrations and national strikes remain a key feature of the political landscape over the medium term.

The current account deficit has collapsed faster than we had expected, raising the prospect of a return to surplus over the medium term.

This is symbolic of Greece's transition towards a more balanced and sustainable economic growth model.
