Eurogroup Says Greek Plan Thorough Will Respond on Saturday

A top eurozone official says Greece has submitted “thorough” proposals aimed at getting a vital third bailout and averting a possible exit from the euro.

Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem said the eurozone would discuss a response to the plans on Saturday.

Germany has cautioned there is little room for easing Greece’s debt burden.
Greek PM Alexis Tsipras will put the plans, which contain many elements rejected in a referendum last Sunday, to a vote in parliament on Friday.

The prime minister submitted the proposals to Greece’s creditors – the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund – by the Thursday deadline they had set.
