Greece proceeded on Monday with the early repayment of €6.9 billion in loans granted under the first bailout program, according to two sources cited by Reuters.
The move concerns loans provided by European partner countries during the fiscal crisis and is taking place ahead of the scheduled repayment timeline.
The new repayment marks another step toward the normalization of public finances, nearly two decades after the outbreak of the debt crisis that led the country to Eurozone and IMF bailout programs.
