Abstract
This chapter wishes to analyze the full impact of the three (3) Memoranda of Understanding signed between the Greek corresponding governments and the European Commission, ECB, and IMF representations. The first Memorandum was considered as necessary due to Greece's inability to access international financial capital, while the other two (2), which followed, tried to correct “implementation errors,” control for “ownership” of the programs, and confront the prolonged and severe economic crisis and unemployment derailment. This chapter will present a series of key macroeconomic and microeconomic figures and will argue that despite the fiscal consolidation, which came at an extremely high social and economic cost, Greek economy still has a lot challenges to tackle and serious impediments to overcome. It will also shed some new light on whether Memoranda actually helped Greece to recover or used a whole country as a “guinea pig” and as an example of compliance, allowing the final reader to decide.
