One Step Closer To A Grexit?

He explained that no agreement was reached during the meeting, with the Greek position already having been weakened after Sunday's referendum vote. According to Cabau, eurozone leaders have asked Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to send them detailed proposals for a third bailout package by Thursday, which they plan to review on Sunday to see if conditions have been been met to negotiate the program.

Cabau explained that a renewed bailout plan would probably involve "a short-term bridge program to face the summer repayment," which would require short-term public finance discipline on the part of Greece. In addition, a larger multi-year loan would be granted that "would be more biased toward structural reforms."

Skepticism Remains

However, Cabau is skeptical that such a deal will be passed. The "No" vote in Sunday's referendum, he said, is a strong indication that the Greeks aren't willing to accept additional austerity measures. On the other hand, however, he thinks it would be very difficult for other euro member nations to swallow an agreement on significantly better terms for Greece – the German and Spanish legislatures would likely present significant hurdles ahead of general elections this year.

The analyst expects "major economic and financial disruption" over the next several days. He projects that Greek banks will run out of cash as soon as Sunday and that the Greek government will almost certainly default on the €3.5 billion it owes to the ECB later this month. A default on the loan would probably trigger a termination of the ECB's emergency lending assistance. Without sufficient capital, Cabau expects the state to hand its employees and pensioners IOUs "as early as this month."

The outlook for Greece, at least from Cabau's perspective, is increasingly bleak.
