Indebted households Statistics released by the Bank of Greece on bank loans to businesses and consumers reflect the twofold problem that plagues the Greek economy. The volume of loans issued to businesses increased by 4.6 percent in May from last year - a significantly smaller increase than the 6.7 percent rise recorded in April.

COMMENTARY

Still, people are not equal, and never will be. The human populace continues to be divided into classes, ideological streams, religions, parties, and factions, even within the same party.
