IMF’s David Lipton: “We would like to be in position to help Greece”

A top official at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Tuesday there had been progress on Greece and the Fund would like to get to a situation where it could help Greece.

“Some progress has been made,” David Lipton, first deputy managing director of the IMF, told reporters in Berlin. “we would like to be in a position to help Greece,” he added.

But they aren’t? Now many Greeks try to decode Lipton’s ambiguous oracle.

Is the IMF insistent on debt relief next to the measures agreed between the European Lenders and Greece at Monday’s Eurogroup?

Tomorrow Wednesday, managing director of IMF, Christine Lagarde, is to meet Chancellor Angela Merkel in the German capital. Many hope that the crucial decision on the IMF’s participation in Greek program will be met there.
