Poul Thomsen: “If it is proven that our estimates were too pessimistic we will change them”

IMF’s Poul Thomsen stated at Handelsblatt regarding the Greek program that “if we have all the available data of 2016 in our hands and it is proven that our estimates were too pessimistic, we will change them”.
