IMF says Greece repaid arrears worth 2 billion euros

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Greece has repaid its arrears to the International Monetary Fund, worth about 2 billion euros (£1.4 billion), IMF communications director Gerry Rice said on Monday. "Greece is therefore no longer in arrears to the IMF," he said in a statement. “As we have said, the Fund stands ready to continue assisting Greece in its efforts to return to financial stability and growth."
