IMF and EU still at odds over Greek fund

Greece and its foreign creditors are still at odds over who will oversee a new privatisation fund, a finance ministry official said yesterday, an issue which must be resolved for Athens to qualify for fresh bailout aid.

European Union and International Monetary Fund mission chiefs began assessing on Monday Greece’s progress on reforms pending for its first bailout review.

Athens initially hoped a deal would be reached this week on all pending issues.
