Greece achieved a significant success with Greece's entry into the EU's Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in 2000. In 2001 the government weathered domestic criticism as it struggled to balance its commitment to generous social welfare programs with the need to maintain a rate of economic growth sufficient to bring Greece out of its ranking as poorest member of the EU. Though successful in meeting its EMU commitment to balance the budget, Greece now must fund the 2004 Olympics, military modernization, employment generation programs, and debt reduction, within tight fiscal and monetary constraints.
