Still No Exit for Greece
Greece's next government is likely to be led by the left-wing Syriza party, which plans to reject austerity and demand significant debt reduction. But the next government and its European creditors need to compromise, with Greece pursuing growth-promoting structural reforms in exchange for the fiscal space needed to allow the reforms to work.

WASHINGTON, DC – Opinion polls in the run-up to Greece’s early general election on January 25 indicate that the left-wing Syriza party is likely to win the largest share of votes. As a result, Syriza stands to earn a crucial premium under Greek electoral law, according to which the party that gains the most votes is allocated an extra 50 of the parliament’s 300 seats. In other words, Syriza could come to power, with enormous implications for Greece and Europe.
