International markets have responded positively to the Greek Parliament’s decision to pass new austerity legislation, which is deemed as highly necessary for the completion of the restructuring of the Greek debt.
The first positive signs came from distant Australia, whose Stock Exchange recorded a positive beginning. Analysts place particular importance on the course of the Asian Indexes.
Moreover, the international media reported minute by minute the long Greek plenary session and commented positively on the outcome.
According to Proto Thema information, Bloomberg was the first news agency to report that the new Memorandum was officially passed in the Greek Parliament, and focused on the first reactions of the Euro monitored in the exchange markets.
The Greek news allowed the world Indexes to start off with a positive start and the media reports have added to it. Even before the Parliament had voted for the new austerity measures, most foreign agencies reported that the Greek government had managed to secure the next EU/IMF bailout tranche.
The first media outlets to report on the voting were TV news agency Sky News with its report entitled “Greek government gets majority on vote”, US economic website MarketWatch and the corresponding site of Wall Street Journal, as well as Reuters.
Since early Sunday all media outlets have focused on Greece , particularly the current political situation and turmoil that broke out during the voting.
