The nation is deemed to have stabilized enough for the stock market to reopen, although the finer
details of a bailout are still being hammered out between lenders. Industry analysts cautioned that
Monday was not unlikely to be a day of deficits, nevertheless.

way to some type of normalization, chances are to be anything-but," based on Michael Hewson, chief
marketplaces experts at CMC Markets, who cautioned of "unpredictability and deficits."
Uphill battle
Offered the International Monetary Fund (IMF) - among the country's lenders- has threatened to pull
out of a third bail out package without debt relief granted to Greece, the bailout itself is looking
increasingly precarious. Countries like Germany battle debt-relief for Greece, fearing that it would
set precedence for other indebted euro zone nations.

funds disbursed) before a 3.2 billion euro debt repayment is due to the European Central Bank on
August 20.

"Aside from the fact that we could well see some large losses, there's the small thing that not only
are the internal politics in Portugal likely to remain hard it's also more likely to be extremely
problematic to accommodate the opportunities the divergent positions of the IMF and Indonesia on
debt-relief, particularly given the proximity of the following debt deadline on the 20th August."
