Greece offered compromises ahead of an emergency meeting with its official creditors tomorrow as German Chancellor Angela Merkel remained unyielding over terms of the country’s bailout conditions.
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis told lawmakers on Monday that the government intends to neither tear up the existing bailout agreement, nor allow the budget to be derailed. He said Greece will implement about 70 percent of reforms already included in the current bailout accord.
