European Central Bank policy makers will discuss Greek bank aid on Wednesday in a chore that is getting more uncomfortable every week.
The Governing Council is due to meet in Frankfurt to debate the Greek central bank’s request for an increase of 1.1 billion euros ($1.2 billion) in the emergency funding it can offer lenders, people familiar with the matter said. As Greece veers toward default, ECB officials are aware that their response could worsen the political crisis just as bailout talks show signs of progress.
