[01] IMF meeting on Monday is critical for Greece
The meeting of the IMF executive council on Monday is critical for the
Greek programme.
The council will discuss the report on the Greek economy that has been
approved by Poul Thomsen, Director of the IMF's European Department.
The report includes the updated analysis on the sustainability of the
Greek debt that confirms its non-sustainability despite the short-term
measures decided in December. It is also noted that the debt will remain
non-sustainable even if Greece implements all those agreed as part of
the ESM programme.
