This R&D provides resources on the Greek economy. In 2009, the country faced a debt crisis that threatened the euro zone and it required a €110 billion bailout loan from the European Union (EU) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The austerity and fiscal reform measures required by the bailout have proven politically unpopular and investors are fearful of what might happen if the Greek government prematurely ends its IMF program, which is supposed to end in 2016.
