Privatizations, at least some, will reportedly proceed but in the form of long-term leasing schemes, with the prime candidates being a majority stake of the Piraeus Port Authority and the online horse-racking concession.

The port privatization is considered a “big-ticket” item, as it involves the country’s largest such facility, while figures over the latter are sketchy, at best.

Conversely, reports state that the leftist SYRIZA government is unwilling to privatize 14 regional airports as a unified package, overturning a previous decision and tender process by the former ND-PASOK coalition government.

The report was “leaked” from a same-day top government meeting on Monday chaired by Greek PM Alexis Tsipras.

More “official” statements are expected at the end of April.
