The U.S. is pushing Greece and its creditors to reach a deal that returns the country to growth, President Barack Obama’s chief economist said.
It’s in the interests of Greece, its creditors and “the entire world” for the sides to determine the structural economic reforms that will get the country growing and enable it to pay its debts, Jason Furman, chairman of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, said in a Bloomberg Television interview in Berlin on Tuesday. U.S. officials aren’t convinced by European reassurances that the fallout from a Greek euro exit would be contained.
