Greek talks progressing well, government claims

Greece sounded an upbeat tone yesterday over talks with its European and IMF creditors, which it said continued through the weekend as the cash-strapped country races to agree on reforms that will unlock more aid.

The eurozone member will run out of money by April 20, a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday, if it does not secure funding from its European partners.

In February, Athens agreed an extension to its €240bn international bailout, but with the money frozen until a set of reforms is decided upon.
