In November 2011, an interim government was appointed, led by Lucas Papademos, a former economist and former vice–president of the European Central Bank. The EU approved in principal the next tranche of the loan at the end of November 2011. The IMF cut growth forecasts in December 2011 fearing a default on the loan.

A 110 billion euro (US$142.6 billion) EU bailout plan for Greece funded by the EU and IMF, running to 2014, was ratified in May 2010. Austerity measures were agreed in December 2010, June 2011, and December 2011. The 2010 cuts included the government trimming 5 billion euros off the deficit by increasing taxes and reducing health and defence spending.

In January 2012, it was announced that unless Greece receives the second 130 billion euro bailout from its international lenders, it will be forced to exit the European Union common currency block. Last minute crisis talks were being held to secure the second loan in the final week of January 2012.

Imports supply approximately 93% of the domestic market. In 2009, total imports of medical devices amounted to US$1,357.3 million. In 2009, imports and exports fell by 9%. In the 12 months to June 2011, imports fell a further 34.9%.and exports fell 2.8% in US dollar terms.

China, keen to gain a foothold in Europe and a gateway to the Balkan peninsular, announced 14 euro trade deals worth billions of euros, and its support for Greece in June 2010.
