It is a great pleasure and honour for me to contribute to this year’s 24th edition of the Moneda y Crédito Symposium.

There is no doubt that advanced economies, not just the euro area, are currently facing a period of exceptional economic and financial instability that requires swift, decisive and credible action by all concerned institutions, each with its own responsibilities.

On 26 October the Heads of State and Government of the euro area agreed on a comprehensive set of measures to restore confidence and address the current tensions in financial markets. These measures include:

First, an agreement to secure the decline of Greek debt to a level equivalent to 120% of GDP by 2020. This reduction will be partly achieved via a voluntary bond exchange involving a 50% nominal discount on notional Greek debt held by private investors. Euro area Member States will also contribute up to 30 bn euro to the PSI package.

If the homeowners have moved out in a rush due to foreclosure proceedings, they probably forgot to stop their newspaper subscriptions as well as changed their mailing address. Keep all of these things in a box and give the box to the realtor when they come by to prepare the house for putting it on the  market.

Keep the Lawn Looking Nice This may seem like a lot of work, but if all the neighbors work together, the foreclosed homes will look occupied and it will reduce the chances of criminals targeting the neighborhood.
