13 Key points Greece has come a long way in the past two years mainly by adjusting its cost base Further adjustment needs stronger output and lower sovereign risk 3+2 recovery and enablement challenges need to be addressed decisively by the end of the year Igniting the Greek economy on these fronts can turn on a bright light at the end of the tunnel McKinsey & Company 12

17 Concluding remarks Greece is almost halfway there the progress of the last two years should not be underestimated or underappreciated The second half needs pro-growth adjustment and a more benign international perspective that does not scare investors away It s time to focus 5 immediate priorities should consume 80% of the agenda and the energy of the Greek government till the end of 2012 Regaining momentum is key! Decisive steps now can overturn the gloomy outlook for the rest of this decade McKinsey & Company 16
