Eurogroup statement on Greece

The Eurogroup notes with satisfaction that the MoU milestone for February, agreed
between Greece and the Troika, has been achieved. In particular, the medium term
fiscal strategy has been updated, introducing 3-year expenditure ceilings for lineministries
and the health sector.
Moreover, the Eurogroup welcomes that, going beyond the requirements of the
milestone, Greece also prepared monthly targets for the largest state-owned
enterprises (SOEs) with a view to later extending them to all SOEs. This step further
safeguards the delivery of fiscal commitments and represents a sign of strong
programme ownership.
Against this background, the Eurogroup welcomes the disbursement by the EFSF of
EUR 2.8 bn under the second economic adjustment programme that has taken place
on that basis.
The Eurogroup calls on the Greek authorities to keep the reform momentum and, in
particular, to fully implement the agreed milestones for March, as a precondition for
the disbursement of a further sub-tranche of EUR 2.8 bn under the second
instalment.
