The IMF on Thursday reiterated its commitment to continue its financing of Greece on the precondition that Greek authorities implemented the agreed framework of reforms.

Caroline Atkinson, Director of External Relations at the International Monetary Fund, in a statement issued to the press, responding to media queries regarding Greece and the statement from the European Commission earlier on Thursday, said: "We stand ready to continue our support for Greece subject to adoption of the economic policy reforms agreed with the Greek authorities.

Progress is being made in the discussions to ensure the full financing of the program, and we anticipate a positive outcome on this at the next Eurogroup meeting. Conclusion of the pending program review remains subject to approval by the IMF’s Executive Board.”
