Greek bailout without IMF 'not an option': Dijsselbloem

BRUSSELS - Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem on Tuesday said moving forward with Greece's massive bailout could not happen without the IMF despite divisions with the eurozone over debt relief.

Greece and its European Union creditors are locked in talks on how to reduce the country's debt burden, which the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said must happen if it is to contribute any more of its own funds

"It's not an option to go on without the IMF," Dijsselbloem said as he arrived for talks with eurozone finance ministers to end a row between Europe and the International Monetary Fund over how to proceed with Greece's 86-billion-euro ($96 billion) bailout.
