Greece must fulfil final requirement to secure next bailout instalment

Greece will have to wait until tomorrow for a decision on its next bailout instalment, as one of 22 conditions for the payment remains unfulfilled.

Greece needs to complete the last requirement today to receive a payment of €2.5bn endorsed by eurozone finance ministers earlier this month, according to a statement from Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister and head of the eurozone finance ministers’ group.

If Greece meets this last condition, all approvals could be done by Jul 29, including clearance by a German parliament committee.
