ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece is broadly on track with its bailout programme but must do more to crack down on tax evasion and pursue reforms to attract foreign investors, International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde said on Tuesday.

Lagarde's interview with state TV was aired as officials from the country's international lenders - the European Union and the IMF - return to Athens to start another inspection after giving Greece the green light for more bailout funds.
