Eurozone hopes to keep IMF in Greek bailout

Frankfurt

EUROZONE finance ministers are working to keep the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as part of the Greek bailout and to address concerns about Greek debt sustainability, European Central Bank (ECB) board member Benoit Coeure said on Wednesday.

The IMF would give the programme credibility and safeguard equal treatment for Greece, Mr Coeure told the European Parliament committee on economic affairs, addressing a key point of tension that is still unresolved after more than a year of talks.
