New Greek bailout to bind Eurozone together

New Greek bailout to bind Eurozone together

 

The euro finance ministers resolved early on Tuesday morning to grant Greece new loans amounting to 130 billion euros. In addition, private creditors have signalled their willingness to waive more than the planned 100 billion euros in debts. Although even this hefty bailout package won't solve Greece's problems, a collapse of the Eurozone would be more costly, commentators write.
