High-ranking IMF economist: Measures to render Greek debt sustainable still pending

High-ranking IMF economist Maurice Obstfeld on Wednesday was quoted by the German daily “Die Zeit” as saying that the Fund’s standing condition for more debt relief to render Greece’s debt load sustainable has still not been fulfilled.

His comments come as Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is due to meet with IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde and EU Commissioner Pierre Moscovici at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday.
