Greek deal without IMF 'unimaginable': Dijsselbloem

THE HAGUE: It is "unimaginable" to do a bailout deal with cash-strapped Greece without the IMF's involvement, Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem said Friday.

Without the International Monetary Fund, a deal is "unimaginable because it needs to have proper content and if it has proper content, the IMF will also participate," Dijsselbloem told journalists in The Hague, a day after the Fund pulled its team out of talks with Athens.
