Grease it or scrap it.

Global financial markets rocked and rolled due to Greece financial distress. An exchange rate depreciation will not help either as it's in a fixed exchange rate euro-zone area.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) which have rich financial strength in its coffers will need to extend a lending package to Greece,a small economy compared to Spain that need sizable funds.
If, in the unlikely event, the IMF needs to come to the simultaneous rescue of the four Euro-zone economies with the worst fiscal situations, the IMF’s ability to help other countries may start to be compromised.
Meanwhile,China is considering using the framework of the European Union (EU) or the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to help Greece out of its debt crisis.
Greece is seeking to raise 53 billion euros ($74 billion) in funds this year to reduce a budget deficit of almost 13 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP), the biggest shortfall in the European Union. It reportedly is persuading China to buy as much as 25 billion euros of its bonds.
Conflicting reports about whether the major European nations have agreed to provide support for Greece is still vague.
