Better hit the ground running
The Cabinet reshuffle has finally been carried out. But the task now facing the government is an extremely tough one, as the country still faces the risk of bankruptcy. Therefore, the government will need to take speedy and extremely painful decisions in the coming months. The changes affecting the government officials who deal with financial and economic policy and the creation of a body within the government responsible for coordinating policy and ministers’ decisions are positive developments.

The most important thing, however, is that the new administration start working hard and systematically – as of today – because there is no room for error and the problems being tackled are extremely pressing.
