The institutions received the Greek government’s letter with proposals and prior actions on time, stated a Eurozone official, refusing however to give an estimation on the letter’s context.
According to the same official, the European Commission, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are examining the Greek proposals and will complete their evaluation on Friday night.
The Euro Working Group will convene on Saturday at 11:00 am and a Eurogroup will follow at 4:00 pm.
He also reminded that the institutions will evaluate the Greek government’s request for a new financial aid from the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) taking under consideration the Eurozone’s stability, the sustainability of the Greek debt and the real financial needs of the country in the next years.
Moreover, the institutions will evaluate the Greek proposals with the list of prior actions. If a new support program to Greece is decided at Saturday’s Eurogroup then maybe there will be no need for a Euro Summit on Sunday.
Regarding the so-called “bridge-financing” that will cover Greece’s financial needs for the next month, the same official noted that in order to start this discussion, there must be an agreement for the long-term financing of the Greek economy. He also clarified that the ESM treaty does not foresee early disbursements.
