Despite the deep reforms we are making, traders and speculators have forced interest rates on Greek bonds to record highs.

But sovereign debt is a wider question not only in Europe but across the globe. While every country is a unique case, I think it's not an issue of countries acting on their own. We need a more coordinated strategy not only in Europe but around the world.

Every leader wants to put his or her imprint on the work that they do, and grow up in specific eras.

Many people have been pontificating, and patronizing, and moralizing, and scapegoating, saying you Greeks, you are the problem. I would say we Greeks have a problem. We are not the problem.

My hope is that we will turn Greece into maybe the most transparent country in the world with everything on the web.

Markets are saying pretty much what I'm saying too: that Greece is doing what it can, but that Greece is not going to be able to carry the weight of all of Europe and the other problems that Europe has.

I have always said I will be in politics to serve as best as I can and it will take me wherever it will take me.
