ATHENS (Reuters) – Greece has repaid ahead of schedule 2.7 billion euros of loans owed to euro zone countries under the first bailout it received during its decade-long debt crisis, a finance ministry official told Reuters on Thursday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed a Reuters report in September that Greece planned to repay euro zone bailout earlier loans as part of its efforts to improve its debt sustainability.
