French Finance Minister Optimistic About Greek Deal

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire expressed optimism about Greece reaching a deal on new loans from its European creditors after talks with his Greek counterpart and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in Athens.

“I wanted to underline that we are doing our best with the other member states of the euro zone, with the IMF, with the Greek governement, and I’m optimistic, I think we are not far from the agreement,” he told reporters.

“And because we are not far we should really do our best in the next two days, to pave the way for that agreement,” he said, praising the Greek government for the reforms carried out in the last months.
