Greece's creditors seek to break impasse on stalled review

Brussels

GREECE'S creditors are weighing three scenarios for easing the country's debt burden which would lead to substantially different levels of relief, as euro-area finance ministers gather in Brussels on Monday to try to clinch a deal that would pave the way for a new set of rescue loans.

The scenarios, which were outlined in a German finance ministry letter to German lawmakers obtained by Bloomberg, make different assumptions about Greece's growth outlook and the primary surplus - which excludes interest payments - that the country will be able to maintain in the long run.
