Greece and Europe have a deal
According to Reuters, one official said, "It's done. For four months."
An agreement removes the immediate risk of Greece running out of money next month and possibly being forced out of the single currency area.
According to Reuters, the deal provides a breathing space for the new leftist-led Athens government to try to negotiate longer-term debt relief with its official creditors.
Euro zone officials said the accord required Greece to submit by Monday a letter to the Eurogroup listing all the policy measures it planned to take during the remainder of the bailout period, to ensure they complied with conditions.
Officials said an outline deal was reached in preparatory talks involving the Greek and German finance ministers, as well as the managing director of the IMF. It was then agreed by the full 19-member Eurogroup, ending weeks of uncertainty.
In a press conference following the announcement, Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem said the negotiations were "intense," because they were about "building trust" between Greece and its European creditors.
