The Minister made much of his achievement in raising the €2 billion bounty to €3 billion. If he achieves the target of €3 billion, the troika said on that basis that he could have a 50:50 split between investment in stimulus and debt write-down. I can only assume, therefore, if he does not hit the target of €3 billion, that there will be implications in terms of the understanding with the troika.
