After having hair cut in harder critical situation in 2012 amid the debt crisis increasing worries hitting the European economy, The economic situation now is easier.

The pressure on EU Fin Ministers is non pretty much lower with current imposed ECB's QE which provides the required help to Spain and Italy, after both of them refrained from asking for rescue plan halting the activation of  OMT rules on them. 

So, why is this consolidation between Greece and EU?!

It is seriously required now from the ECB to show that it can widen its QE to contain any sack of liquidity in EU. It can show also that its ELA can be to any country in EU to press down the cost of borrowing.

The ECB should restore confidence in EU Economy which can be now by higher cost than what can be submit to Greece to end this unwanted problem.

Cutting Greece off EU or directing it to do cannot cap the political changes which can be in Spain or Italy whereas the main source of worries.

The EU Economy which could hardly get rid of the deflation stance in April and May can be in need of showing that it has enough liquidity and credible situation to get through the crisis with no credit crunch can raise the single currency value to press the EU economy down again into deflation.

Greece has also achieved remarkable progress and it can return to full access to the bond markets and also adopt the ECB's QE by obeying to EU can press down its sovereign debt yield.

After Feb. 20 EU preliminary acceptance of offered Greek list of financial measurements Greek 10YR bond yield has fallen below 9% but it rose later to surpass 13%.

With this current consolidation, Greek 10YR bond yield can easily surpass 15% and that yield rising is hard to be for the Greek bonds yields only but it can raise also the yield curve in all EU high-indebted countries and also it can raise the yields of other high debt ailing economies across the globe like Argentina.

This dovish market sentiment can push the credit rating agencies to change their evaluations of many countries. UK's credit rating has been actually downgraded from stable to negative by S&P.

In the same time, there can be increasing demand for bonds of funding countries having high stable financial in EU like Germany and also France as long as there is no signal from them of having difficulties because of the crisis which is expected to cause relatively high volatility in the next days by God's will.

While the referendum is mostly expected to be by Tsipras's anti-austerity  situation, as what had been seen before in 2011 when the Greek PM George Papandreou decided to call for referendum on austerities measurements before canceling that referendum  on Nov. 3, 2011.
