希腊拟定经改方案以换取欧盟救助

Greek officials are putting the final touches on economic reform proposals that are due to their European creditors on Monday, as part of a deal to extend the Greek bailout for four months.

European finance ministers on Friday gave Greece the Monday deadline to present proposals that would convince the country's creditors to grant the four-month extension.

The proposals are aimed at reviving the country's faltering economy and cutting government spending in exchange for renewing the almost $300 billion in loans that are set to expire this week.

Nikos Pappas, minister of state in the new leftist Greek government, said on Sunday officials are working to make the government's civil service "more effective and to combat tax evasion."
