EDITORIAL

Chary of credit Data on total credit expansion in February released by the Bank of Greece yesterday show a stable, if not downward, trend in consumer credit. It is indicative of this trend that growth in personal loans has slowed while growth in credit card lending has stayed at the same level as in the previous month.

Until 1990, bilateral ties were characterized by an underlying antagonism. During the government of former Prime Minister Constantine Mitsotakis, Greek foreign policy displayed a clear pro-Serbian bias, but after 1993 PASOK tried to bring a more balanced approach to the Balkans.
