“Tsipras on the other hand, said that creditors also compromised to do some debt restructuring. In the meantime, Greeks bank´s holiday has been extended through July 15th, and the general sense is that, despite there will be no Grexit, the solution is just temporal, as it will end up meaning further recessional pressures for the country that will end up with a larger, unaffordable debt, in a few years.”
