IMF head: Significant debt relief necessary for Greek program to succeed

Greek government must believe in program

Newsroom July 29 05:58

Realistic fiscal targets; structural reforms; sufficient funding, and a significant debt relief.

Lagarde made it clear that the Greek government must ‘own’ the program, adding that ‘at the end of the day what matters is actions and not words’.
