Bloomberg reported on Thursday evening that “Greece and Germany are working towards a compromise”, quoting government sources and officials in Berlin.
According to the news agency, Germany will not insist to the adherence of all the conditions in the existing program. As long as the program is extended, Germany appears open to negotiations regarding the primary budget surplus goal.
The Greek side is also reportedly ready to commit to a primary surplus target.
According to the same sources, the Tsipras government may be willing to compromise on the issue of privatizations.
Both sides estimate that the willingness of Greece to adhere to more than 2/3 of the memorandum shows that the Greek government is ready to remain in the program.
