(NaturalNews) The small eastern European nation of Croatia has decided to let Christmas come early for its poorest citizens: Under a new initiative aimed at giving them a fresh start, the government is wiping out their debts, leaving some observers to relate the move to an ancient Biblical pattern indicating a looming financial collapse….
In order to be eligible for the debt-forgiveness program, Croatians must either be on a social welfare program or be earning no more than €166 a month. Also, they must not have any savings and they cannot own a second home….
By December, AFP reported, more than 322,000 Croatians had their bank accounts frozen because they had so many unpaid bills. In all, combined debts amounted to €4.1 million (as of this writing, €1 was equal to $1.15).
The chief economist with Societe Generale Splitska Banka, Zdeslav Santic, says he thinks the move will spur an economic recovery.
