Schaeuble Urges Tsipras to Affirm IMF Role in Greek Bailout

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras would do well to avoid questioning the need for the International Monetary Fund to participate in his country’s latest bailout, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said.

“It’s not in the Greek interest” to keep the IMF out, Schaeuble said at a news conference in Brussels on Tuesday after a meeting of European Union finance ministers. “They should focus on doing what they agreed to do.”
