| Sarkozy says Greek problem solved Posted: NICE, France (Reuters) - French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Friday that Greece's debt crisis had been solved after Athens won strong acceptance from private creditors for a bond swap deal. "I would like to say how happy I am that a solution to the Greek crisis, which has weighed on the economic and financial situation in Europe and the world for months, has been found," Sarkozy said in the southern city of Nice.

| Greece has met 2nd bailout terms: draft Eurogroup statement Posted: BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Greece has taken all the steps required to get a second bailout and the euro zone can go ahead with the disbursement of funds to finance Greece's debt swap via sweeteners, the chairman of euro zone finance ministers will say on Friday. "I welcome the significant progress achieved in the preparation of the second Greek adjustment program," Eurogroup President Jean-Claude Juncker will say, according to a draft of his statement obtained by Reuters. ... |
| "Mistake" to think Greek crisis over: German finance minister Posted: BERLIN (Reuters) - It would be wrong to assume that the euro zone has resolved Greece's sovereign debt crisis after the successful completion of the country's debt swap with its private creditors, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Friday. Athens won strong acceptance from its private creditors on Thursday for the bond swap deal, a crucial requirement for unlocking a second bailout from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund worth 130 billion euros. "Greece has today got a clear opportunity to recover. But the precondition is that Greece uses this opportunity. ... |

| Europe insurers unfazed by Greek debt swap: Fitch Posted: LONDON (Reuters) - The bond swap aimed at reducing Greece's public debt burden will have little impact on European insurers as most have impaired their Greek bonds to the level required under the deal, credit rating agency Fitch said on Friday. "European insurers generally operate robust impairment policies and have written down Greek sovereign debt in line with market prices," Fitch analyst Federico Faccio said. "They are therefore unlikely to incur further losses from the debt swap, which was widely supported by the sector. ... |
| Money funds add euro zone debt again Posted: NEW YORK (Reuters) - Prime money funds increased their holdings of euro-zone bank securities in February, suggesting less fear of the euro-zone debt crisis spiraling out of control, J.P. Morgan analysts said in a report released on Friday. These ultra short-term funds, which are seen as alternatives to bank savings accounts, raised their euro-zone bank holdings for a second straight month. They added $30 billion in euro-zone bank debt paper last month, bringing their euro zone debt holdings to $211 billion, J.P. Morgan analysts said. ... |
| Fitch cuts Greece's rating to "restricted default" over debt swap Posted: ATHENS (Reuters) - Fitch on Friday cut Greece's rating to "restricted default" over its debt swap deal, as expected, becoming the third of the three major rating agencies to slash Greece into default territory. Fitch said in a statement it would upgrade Greece's rating once the debt exchange was completed and the new securities have been issued, adding that the new rating was likely to be low speculative grade.
