German vice-chancellor urges debt relief for Greece


BERLIN: German Vice-Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel urged euro zone finance ministers to start talks on debt relief for Greece, saying it made no sense to crush the green shoots of economic recovery with further austerity measures.

The finance ministers of the euro zone’s 19 countries are due to meet in Brussels tomorrow to discuss Greece’s debt and a new set of contingency measures that Athens should adopt to ensure it will achieve agreed fiscal targets in 2018.
