ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece is regaining “lost credibility” shredded after the economic crisis, making a return to the bond markets possible for the first time in four years, the minister in charge of a massive public sector overhaul said Tuesday.

Administrative Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis painted an image of a country turning the corner on its troubles. The man who presided over the cuts demanded by Greece’s bailout creditors spoke as a further drop in borrowing rates buoyed the government ahead of an expected bond issue that could come as early as this week.
