Ministers press on with talks on banks, privatization
11:57
Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos and Economy Minister Giorgos Stathakis are to meet representatives of the country’s international creditors at 1.30 p.m. on Tuesday for talks on bank recapitalization and privatization as the two sides boost efforts to secure a deal.
The talks on Tuesday are to focus on bank recapitalization and on the outlines of a privatization program, according to ministry officials who said the aim is to take stock of the first round of negotiations with creditor envoys on Wednesday.
Technical teams were to discuss the thorny issue of labor sector reform from around noon onwards.
In comments to Skai, the government spokesperson Olga Gerovasili said the process of drawing up the agreement will begin on Wednesday.
