The Greek Debt Crisis: Continuing Challenges

The Congressional Research Service, a department of the Library of Congress, conducts research and analysis for Congress on a broad range of national and international policy issues. Some of the CRS work is carried out specifically for individual members of Congress or their staff and is confidential. However, there is also much CRS compiled material which is considered public but is not formally published on the CRS website.

For that reason a number of other organisations try to keep track of these publications and make them publicly available via their own websites. Currently, ESO uses the following websites to track these reports and allow access to them in ESO:

EveryCRSReport.com
Federation of American Scientists (FAS)

In some cases hyperlinks allows you to access all versions of a report, including the latest. Note that many reports are periodically updated.Seven years after it received its first financial rescue package, Greece was not rid of its crippling debts. This report, issued a few months before the July 2017 installment debt repayment, examined the situation of the Greek economy, and assessed the government's capacity to levy the necessary funds.
