June 15th Eurogroup Deal Between Greece & Creditors
( Much More At Twitter Timeline - Reverse Chronology )
#Eurogroup President @J_Dijsselbloem says today's meeting won't take final decision on #Greece debt relief, which will be discussed in 2018
Schaueble: The IMF will probably join the programme for #Greece without making payments until August 2018 #Eurogroup
EU FINMIN TO CONSIDER BETWEEN 0 AND 15-YR EXTENSION OF LOAN MATURITIES TO GREECE AS PART OF DEBT RELIEF IN 2018, BUT NO DECISION TAKEN
Lagarde:We have recently seen significant progress by GR gov on policy reforms followed by supportive legislation from Gr Parliament
Lagarde:We have seen progress on debt relief although further discussions are needed on scope/type of measures to be provided b EU creditors
ESM's Klaus Regling: First tranche for #Greece at beginning of July about 6.8 bln for debt repayments, another 0.8 bln for arrears clearance
Lagarde:release of resources would be conditional upon EU creditors providing commitments for debt relief sufficient to secure debt sustain
Lagarde:release of IMF funds would be contingent on policy implementation + receipt of relief assurances so debt can be deemed sustainable
Lagarde:assessment of debt sustainability would be guided solely by IMF’s own debt sustainability analysis
Lagarde:I hope that the discussion over specific debt relief measures can soon be brought to conclusion
