Acting IMF chief John Lipsky said Wednesday the program the Greek parliament approved earlier in the day is a big step forward to improving the nation's economic outlook, and he hopes for further progress following the meeting of Eurogroup finance ministers Sunday.
"It's dramatically in the interests of the Greek people to implement structural reforms and fiscal adjustment that will create the basis for stabilization and renewed growth through gaining competitiveness in the euro area," Lipsky said at a briefing.
