Dutch acting Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager said Greece needs immediate fiscal changes, three days after International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde said the nation should get two more years to meet its targets.
“What we expect Greece to do is implement the economic reforms without further delay,” De Jager said in an interview yesterday with Bloomberg Television in Tokyo, where he attended the International Monetary Fund meetings. “Yes, they are painful but it’s really important that they’re doing them.”
