Athens to Delay IMF Repayment; Greece Close to Approving Extended Servitude;

• globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com

Christine Lagarde said earlier today that she was "confident" Greece would make tomorrow's payment to the IMF.

Also today, when Alexis Tsipras was asked by reporters whether the installment would be made, the Greek prime minister replied: "Don't worry about that."

That was not a "yes" he simply said "don't worry about that", a technical non-answer.

Athens to Delay Payment

Yet moments ago, the Financial Times reported Greece to Delay IMF Repayment as Tsipras Faces Backlash.

Greece has notified the International Monetary Fund that it will not make a scheduled €300m loan repayment on Friday after opposition to a bailout compromise with creditors erupted inside the governing party.
