Eurogroup's Dijsselbloem: No conclusions on Greek debt deal today

Head of the Eurogroup of finance ministers, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, said he is confident a deal with Greece on reforms and debt relief can be reached later this month.

In a press conference following a finance ministers’ meeting, Dijsselbloem said they had a first discussions on Greek debt relief and considered longer grace periods, but no decision was made.

The IMF believes Greece needs debt relief and has stated it will not sign off on a review of Greek reforms unless such relief is granted.
