Broad consensus on Greece’s debt agreement

FXStreet (Córdoba) - A Greek official said Friday that there is “broad consensus” among Eurozone finance ministers on a common statement involving Greece’s debt deal. However, according to European officials, talks are still underway.

Latest headlines suggest there are still many details left to be decided despite the Greek agreement in the pre-meeting negotiations.

Unofficial reports are reporting the agreement would include:

*a four-month extension (not six)
*no new austerity measures
*not unilateral moves

European commissioner for economic affairs Pierre Moscovici tweets from the Eurogroup meeting in Brussels: “We’re making progress.”

Meanwhile, EU chief Donald Tusk ruled out a eurozone summit on Greece on Sunday but said he's ready to convene one in due course if necessary.
