1 Greek Outlook 2016: Backloaded measures require frontloaded action Ilias Lekkos Irini Staggel Anastasia Aggelopoulou Economic Research & Investment Strategy June 2016

3 Déjà vu all over again The felling of déjà vu for the Greek economy is growing once again. Similar to what we have seen time and again over the last 7 years as soon as the Greek economy starts showing some signs of life there comes a new period of prolonged and intense negotiations between the Government and the Institutions ultimately resulting in a new and substantial wave of fiscal austerity, which in turn drags the Greek economy back to recession. With GDP contracting by 1.4%(YoY) in Q and with a new set of fiscal consolidation measures equal to 2.2% of GDP to be introduced in the second half of the year, urgent action is required by all sides in order to limit the depth and duration of economic contraction. In what follows we estimate a number of macroeconomic scenarios starting from the most pessimistic one where the economy feels the full effect of the austerity measures without any mitigating actions. In that scenario the economy will contract by -2.8%. We believe that the prospect of such an adverse outcome should motivate all policy makers to spring into action. We also estimate a scenario under which Greek households, in an attempt to cushion the impact of austerity on their living standards, reduce their savings even further, limiting somewhat the size of economic contraction to -2.5%. Yet, the only factor with true recession mitigating potency is the clearance of Government Arrears which if distributed timely could help limit the level of GDP recession to -1.1%. 3

Financial Markets on the other hand have already priced-in the successful conclusion of the negotiations and the disbursement of the next tranche.

7 Should Fiscal Multiplier equal 1: Implications for growth The incremental impact of the new agreement on fiscal revenues is estimated at 3.8 bn in H and 0.95 bn for the full The result of this uneven distribution of the phasing in of the new measures is that the marginal impact of the measures will be extremely severe in Q3 & Q4-2016, will decline in Q1 & Q and will even turn negative in Q3 & Q A full pass-through of the measures to growth (fiscal multiplier=1) with no mitigating actions will push GDP growth down to -2.8%.

8 Scenario 2: Savings to cushion the blow Experience has taught us that Greek households, when buffeted with new austerity measures, lower their saving ratio as they try to maintain their living standards. For example, in 2014 household saving ratio (HSR) stood at -5.5% (of disposable income) which declined to -6.1% in 2015 thus limiting the extend of the recession. If we assume that HSR will decline by another 0.6% to -6.7%, this will mitigate the impact of the fiscal measures limiting GDP contractions to -2.5%.

9 Dec-11 Dec-12 Dec-13 Dec-14 Dec-15 Jan-16 Feb-16 Mar-16 Jun-16 Sep-16 Scenario 3: Lower HSR & Partial Arrears Clearance The conclusion of the Programme Review came at a significant fiscal cost but on the positive side brings new funding of at least 10.3 bn, 3.5 bn of which will be used to repay General Government Arrears. Assuming that 70% of that amount is used for domestic payments to local suppliers, wages etc. (with the remaining 30% used to pay for imports), then this extra income can be used to finance additional consumption which in turn has the potential to mitigate the impact of austerity even further. Under that scenario the extent of the recession is contained to -1.1%, slightly worse than the Pre-agreement scenario of -0.7%.

19 A bird s-eye view of the evolution of Greek debt Despite the widespread belief that interest in Greek debt is at rock-bottom levels, the combination of GDP recession and entrenched deflation is creating a substantial positive snowball effect that contributed 6.76% in 2014 and 8.53% in 2015 to Greek Government Debt growth. 3 Driving Factors of Debt (as % of GDP) Primary Balance (reverse sign) i.e: "+" is a deficit " -" is a surplus "Snow-ball" effect Stock - flow adjustment+ Δ (debt) Note: ESA 2010 adjustment, primary balance based on MoU methodology since Source: Ameco Database, DG ECFIN, ELSTAT, IMF, Piraeus Bank Research 19
