This was certainly a surprise. Eurgogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem made an unexpected statement: that the issue of the Greek debt relief would start once the 3. bailout review is successfully concluded. This could happen sometime in April.

Dijsselbloem’s statement was a surprise because Greece’s European creditors, that is German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble first of all, were against the “debt relief” that the International Monetary Fund has been proposing all the time.
