ECB's Asmussen didn’t discuss third bailout for Greece
FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - European Central Bank executive board member Joerg Asmussen said a third bailout package was not discussed at talks with Greek Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras during his visit to Athens on Wednesday.
"We have not discussed this, we have focused on making the current programme a success, more growth and jobs," Joerg Asmussen said. Comments come a day after German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Greece would need more financial aid.
However, Asmussen did say that the Eurozone will consider measures to support Greece as long as it implements its latest bailout but has no plans to review the situation before spring 2014.
