Greece completed an early repayment of 2.7 billion euros ($3.0 billion) in loans from the IMF (Greeka)
Greece on Monday completed an early repayment of 2.7 billion euros ($3.0 billion) in loans from the International Monetary Fund stemming from the country’s multi-billion bailout, the finance ministry said.
The ministry said the move “reduces borrowing costs…improves the viability of (Greece’s) public debt and further increases market confidence.”
According to the finance ministry, the IMF loans repaid bore an interest rate of 4.91 percent when current rates on Greek debt are far lower.
Finance Minister Christos Staikouras has said early repayment would save Greece around 70 million euros ($77 million).
