Greece could receive 10 billion euros ($10.8 billion) for bank recapitalization as soon as next week if it can complete its financial-sector milestones on time, euro-area finance ministers said after a meeting in Brussels Monday.
The so-called Eurogroup asked Greek authorities to finalize financial-sector measures and legislation agreed under a set of milestones this week, according to a statement. That would unlock the disbursement of 2 billion euros by the European Stability Mechanism “and a transfer of funds needed for the recapitalization of the Greek banking sector.”
