David Gura in New York with Tom Keene, this is Bloomberg Surveillance on

Bloomberg Radio. A couple years back I was on a reporting trip to Athens. There was a protest on my final night

there. Parliament was debating. Crowds gathered in Centagma Square and toward the end a

few homemade gasoline bombs were thrown. I gathered the same thing played out. Last night in

Athens, his parliamentarians debated another round of austerity measures.

Great pleasure to have with us here in our Bloomberg 1130 studios, George

Papa Constantino, the former finance minister of Greece, get us up to speed

on what's going on here. We're looking at a Eurogroup meeting I gather today or tomorrow

Where do things stand with the Greek economy at this point?

Good morning.
