Talks between Greece and its creditors ended with no breakthrough Friday as months of feuding with the International Monetary Fund raised fears of a new debt crisis. Greece is caught up in a complicated row with its eurozone paymasters and the IMF over debt relief and budget targets that has rattled markets and revived talk of the country's place in the euro.
Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem said progress was made after five hours of talks in Brussels with Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos and other EU and IMF officials, but provided few details. "There is a clear understanding that a timely finalisation of the second review is in everyone's interest," Dijsselbloem said in a short statement, referring to the long delayed signing off on the next payment of bailout loans.
