Article reports that expectations were rising in the markets on the 17 February 2010 that Greece would attempt to issue new bonds in the following week, in a high-risk move to boost their credibility among investors. But bankers warn another bond syndication disaster could shut the country out of the markets and force the European Union to turn their implicit support for Athens into actual loans.

He said that Greece needed political support to enable it to borrow money at the same interest rate as other countries. |
