Greece plans to accelerate the repayment of billions of euros of bailout loans in the latest sign of the country’s economic reversal since it nearly fell out of the euro area more than a decade ago.

Athens will seek to repay at least €5 billion ($5.3 billion) in 2025, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said at a Bloomberg event on Monday. The obligations mature from 2033 to 2042.
