Greek govt says ready to conclude debt deal in coming days

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The Greek government is ready for a deal with creditors soon and wants to step up negotiations on outstanding issues like the budget and debt restructuring, a spokesman said on Thursday after the IMF said its team had left talks in Brussels. "The Greek delegation, as agreed, is ready to intensify deliberations in order to conclude a deal soon, even in the coming days," Gabriel Sakellaridis said in a statement. "For this reason it will continue to work on the remaining issues, such as the fiscal issue and the sustainability of the debt." (Reporting by Renee Maltezou; Editing by Alastair Macdonald)
