According to Die Welt, there are three possible scenarios for the outcome of today’s meeting:
Scenario 1. Greeks overestimate their financial reserves.
In this case, Greece would need money to bridge the financial gap and the European Central Bank would be ready to provide necessary financial support. The most important requirement is, however, that "Greeks really show commitment at the negotiating table," Brussels official said.
Scenario 2. Greece makes half-hearted reform proposals, is not able to repay its debts.
This scenario assumes that the Greeks would come up with half-hearted reform proposals and hope that other countries give in (which they don’t). In the next few weeks, the country will no longer been able to pay off its debts to the IMF and the ECB.
Scenario 3. Greeks shows no willingness for cooperation and debts’ repayment
In this case, Greeks show no intention to carry out necessary reforms and prove unable to repay their debts. They also do not return to the negotiating table anymore and start introduction of a parallel currency, which would mean the beginning of Greece’s withdrawal from the monetary union.
