So €35bn from IMF, primary surpluses, privatisations & bond market? Good luck with that!







€50bn ESM + €16bn IMF 2nd bailout + €20~€25bn Investment Fund?







A new IMF €15bn program post-Apr 2016 might just do.





Perhaps, but you read the DSA update. You really think they'll pony up for a new post-April programme?





You really think they're going to get €20bn-€25bn from the privatisation fund in 3 years?







Νο way.







That's my point. IMF thinks €1.5bn at most. And surplus esti is €6bn, which seems optimistic. And IMF hinting it won't disburse.

I expect to on balance keep ELA limit for banks steady today and until there is a green light for start of negotiations.







The ECB should start fine-tuning ELA now with a calibrated cap lift and/or lower haircuts. If not today, then strong hint for next week.








In other words, the ECB should strengthen forward guidance relative to ELA and haircuts frontloading.
