The Eurozone Ministers of Finances are not considering the possibility of a third bailout for Greece, argued Simone Boitelle – spokeswoman for Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem – in response to earlier comments by the Spanish Finance Minister.
On Monday, Spain’s Minister of Finances Luis de Guindos revealed that the Eurozone members were debating the possibility of a third rescue package for Greece, worth 30 to 50 billion euros.
According to Mr. de Guindos, this new rescue package would give Greece greater flexibility, which at present has no other funding options. Mrs. Boitelle said that the “Eurozone finance ministers are not discussing a third bailout”.
European Commission: «Talks on third bailout are premature»
The European Commission has also responded to the Mr. de Guindos’ comments regarding plans for a third bailout for Greece. The Commission commented that talks of third package are «premature«.
