The head of Greece's opposition New Democracy party—the man most
likely the country's next prime minister—expects Greece's economy to
shrink by more than 6% this year and the recession to linger through
2013.
In an interview, Antonis Samaras said that the country was also
unlikely to meet its upwardly revised deficit target in 2011,
underscoring Greece's difficulty in meeting the fiscal goals the country
has promised its international creditors.
