Before Greece asks Europe to give it a chance it should stop hindering the free fair flow of bank credit to Greeks.

Sir, I refer to Yannis Dragasakis’, Yanis Varoufakis’ and Euclid Tsakalotos’ “All we ask is that Europe give Greece a chance” March 18.

Before they have the right to ask that of Europe they should give their own citizens a chance.

They write of “Many of the 60 per cent of young people out of work will one day be reclassified as long-tem unemployed”… and yet they play along with bank regulations which by favoring credit to the government, hinders the free flow of fair credit to SMEs and entrepreneurs, those who stand the best chance to create the sustainable jobs the Greek youth so urgently need.

In Paris, March 25-26 OECD will hold its Integrity Forum 2015 titled Curbing Corruption Investing in Growth. To me, when regulators tilt the access of bank credit in favor of their employers, here by means of risk-weighted equity requirements, it sounds like a sort of corruption, and it definitely stops medium and long-term growth. I hope OECD, though also government dependent dares to analyze that issue.
