EU Observer - "On Thursday, Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem suggested that the bailout programme would be extended in order to help bridge the Greek funding gap.

The Greek government asked for a nine-month extension, but a six-month extension is more likely. In this case, a €10.9 billion fund earmarked for the recapitalisation and resolution of Greek banks could be used to refinance the Greek government. The money would be disbursed in several stages, linked to clear Greek commitments on reforms or implementation of specific reforms. This scenario was on the table earlier this month before the talks collapsed on 14 June. EU and diplomatic sources said Friday that it would be discussed by ministers and leaders on Monday only if the Greek government submitted "credible" proposals. "We are flexible, but we are waiting for clear propositions to compensate" lower cuts in pensions and a lower VAT on electricity, an EU source said".

Various sources indicate that a 6-month extension of 's program is gaining ground. No confirmation from any side yet.

six more months of uncertainty and stagnation. Govt will sell this as a victory. No changes. No progress.
