Eurogroup chief says talks on short-term debt relief measures for Greece to resume in January

Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem said on Saturday that talks on short-term debt relief measures for Greece would be resumed after being frozen mid-December over Athens' decision to pay a Christmas bonus to pensioners.

Dijsselbloem stated that Greece's creditors agreed to resume the negotiations after he received a letter from Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos in which he reaffirmed his commitment to Greece's reform program.

"I'm happy to conclude that we have cleared the way... to go ahead with the decision-making procedures for the short term debt measures, which will be conducted in January", Dijsselbloem said.
