IMF approves bail out for Greece
IMF OKs bailout to GreeceThe International Monetary Fund has officially approved a 4-year bailout for Greece worth 28 billion euros, or around 36.6 billion dollars.
IMF spokesman Gerry Rice read a statement on Thursday after the global lender’s executive board meeting. It said the board approved the rescue to support Greece’s ambitious economic reform.
He also called on Greece to steadily implement fiscal and structural reforms that are preconditions for the bailout package.
The IMF’s nod to the additional funding for Greece followed the EU’s approval of its own bailout loans.
