Greece’s international lenders will make a decision on the country’s proposed reform program “probably today”, head of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem said Friday, Bloomberg reported. Dijsselbloem confirmed late Thursday he had received the new plans for economic overhauls in Greece, which are a prerequisite for the lenders to sign off on more bailout aid for the the debt-laden country. The Eurogroup has rejected previous reform plans from Athens, but the new proposal appears to be closer to creditors’ demands. French President Francois Hollande called the blueprint “serious and credible”, providing hope that the eurozone will approve a new aid package. EU leaders meet on Sunday to discuss Greece in what has been called the final deadline for finding a resolution to the country’s debt problem.
