I want to know the answer to the following question:
Swaps allow Greece to do what?
All the background I'm provided with is that "As Eurostat at the time ignored statistics involving financial derivatives, a German derivatives dealer had commented to Der Spiegel that "The Maastricht rules can be circumvented quite legally through swaps," and "In previous years, Italy used a similar trick to mask its true debt with the help of a different US bank.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
