About the book
The Chronicle of the Great Crisis is made up of two parts. The first covers the period 2000-2009 and highlights the warnings of the Bank of Greece concerning the crisis that was coming. The second is about the critical four-year period from 2010 to 2013; in this part, developments in Greece and in the international environment are analysed; also, the Bank’s public interventions and institutional actions aimed to safeguard financial stability and contribute to an exit from the crisis are recorded, together with its contribution to the creation of a new European environment.
From the Foreword
“I believe that the Chronicle can prove particularly useful, since it gathers in a single volume the views and assessments of the Bank of Greece on the critical issues of the period, its institutional actions to safeguard monetary and financial stability and its contribution to the creation of a new European environment. […] [It also] tells us the story of the efforts –successful or not– setbacks, risks, achievements and delays that marked this turbulent and eventful period of recent Greek history. This narrative, in my view, can help towards an informed assessment of the path that we as a country have followed and indicate appropriate orientations for the future.”
