Summary:Greece's deep recession has continued unabated, with the economy struggling to gain traction against domestic political instability and weak external conditions. Stronger internal devaluation is now under way, reflecting the interaction of labor market liberalization with the already weak labor market. Current account adjustment has accelerated, notwithstanding slow progress with structural reforms.

Institutional reforms continued to disappoint during 2012, again complicating overall adjustment efforts.
