Backs against wall, Greece to seek loan agreement extension
Greece is considering requesting an extension to its loan agreement, government officials said Tuesday, in an effort to reach a last-minute deal with the country’s European creditors and avoid the danger of a euro exit.
The country would submit the request before Friday, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity pending the formal announcement. They stressed the request would not be for an extension of Greece’s bailout agreement, which includes strict cost-cutting measures as conditions for rescue loans.
The move follows an ultimatum issued by eurozone finance ministers after their meeting to find a solution for Greece collapsed Monday night. They have said Greece must ask for an extension to its current bailout by the end of the week in order to reconvene a meeting.
