Poster
This event was a presentation and a debate of two alternative narratives of the eurozone crisis and its effects on Greece and Cyprus. There are a number of controversial questions about the crises which the speakers debated. Why was Greece ‘bailed-out’ in 2010 and Cyprus ‘bailed-in’ in 2013? Why the Greek economy collapsed after 2010 and how significant are structural reforms?
Dr Michalis Sarris, a former department director at the World Bank, served twice as Minister of Finance of Cyprus, including when the country adopted the euro and later sought an international bailout package in 2013.
Dr Yiannis Kitromilides is Associate Member of the Cambridge Centre of Economic and Public Policy, Department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge. He has previously taught at the University of Greenwich, University of Westminster, University of Middlesex and the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
