April 15 (Bloomberg) -- Greece plans to carry out 76 billion euros ($110 billion) in austerity measures and state- asset sales to meet budget-deficit goals as Prime Minister George Papandreou vowed the country won’t restructure its debt.
Greece will enact 26 billion euros in deficit cuts and 50 billion euros in asset sales through 2015, the Finance Ministry said today in an e-mailed statement from Athens. The measures will cut the deficit to near 1 percent of gross domestic product by 2015, from a targeted 7.4 percent this year, Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said.
