EU-IMF agree on cutting Greek debt-to-GDP level

Euro zone finance ministers and the International Monetary Fund clinched agreementon reducing Greece's debt on Monday in a breakthrough to release urgently needed loans to keep the near-bankrupt economy afloat.
After 12 hours of talks at their third meeting in as many weeks, Greece's international lenders agreed on a package of measures to reduce Greekdebt by 40 billion euros, cutting it to 124 percent of gross domestic product by 2020.
In a significant new pledge, ministers committed themselves to take further steps to lowerGreece's debt to"significantly below 110 percent" in 2022 -- the most explicit recognition so far that some write-off of loans may be necessary from 2016, the point when Greece is forecast toreach a primary budget surplus.
"When Greece has achieved, or is about to achieve, a primary surplusand fulfilled all of its conditions, we will, if need be, consider further measures for the reduction of the total debt," German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said.
Eurogroup Chairman Jean-Claude Juncker saidministers would formally approve the release of a major aid instalment needed to recapitalise Greece's teetering banks and enable the government to pay wages,pensions and suppliers onDec. 13.
Greece will receive up to 43.7 billion euros in stagesas it fulfills the conditions. The December instalment will comprise 23.8 billion for banks and 10.6 billion in budget assistance.
The IMF's share, less than a third of the total, will only be paid out once a buy-back of Greek debt has occurred in the coming weeks, but IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said theFund had no intention of pulling out of the programme.
To reduce Greece's debt pile, ministers agreed to cut the interest rate on official loans, extend their maturity by 15 years to 30 years, and grant Athens a 10-year interest repayment deferral.
They promised to hand back 11 billion euros in profits accruing to their national central banks from European Central Bank purchases of discounted Greek government bonds in the secondary market.
They also agreed to finance Greece to buy back its own bonds from private investors at what officials said was a target cost of around 35 cents in the euro.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said on leaving the talks:"I very much welcome the decisions taken by theminsters of finance. They will certainly reduce the uncertainty and strengthen confidence in Europe and in Greece."

Mark Carney,Canadian to succeed Mervyn King as the next governor of the Bank of England.

LONDON - In a surprising departure from convention,the British government on Monday selected Mark Carney, the head of the Canadian central bank, to succeed Mervyn King as the next governor of the Bank of England.
The appointment ended a months-long process in which some of Britain's most prominent public officials vied hungrily for a post that will come with sharply enhanced powers.
The odds were heavily stacked in favor of the Bankof England's deputy governor, Paul Tucker. The decision to select a foreigner to lead Britain's most storied financial institution came as a shock when George Osborne, the chancellor of the Exchequer, broke the newsduring a session of Parliament on Monday.
