European officials check new Greek debt proposals

European officials are preparing to assess Greece’s third set of economic policy proposals with German chancellor Angela Merkel urging prime minister Alexis Tsipras to do what is needed to qualify for aid.

Tsipras’s government may submit a comprehensive list of policy measures aimed at securing more financial aid by the end of the week. That document needs the endorsement of Greece’s official creditors and the finance officials’ committee before ministers will consider whether it’s up to scratch.

Euro-area finance officials will hold a call today to discuss progress on Greece, two people familiar with the plans said.
