The Euro zone is set to release a vital installment of aid money for Greece but will leave the final decision on a second bailout for the debt ridden country until later this summer.
The finance ministers of the 17 countries that use the Euro will sign off on an Euro 8.7 billion ($12.6 billion) installment of Greece’s existing bailout in a conference call Saturday evening. An extra Euro 3.3 billion will come from the IMF.
Without the Euro 12 billion, Greece would have defaulted on its massive debts within days.
The country needs tens of billions of Euros in further assistance over the coming years, but ministers have delayed a second aid package until they know what private run
banks and other private creditors will contribute.
