Brussels – The Board of Directors of the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) approved today the disbursement of €1 billion to Greece, taking into consideration the full implementation of a set of milestones agreed in April 2014.

This is the second tranche of the total €8.3 billion instalment approved by the Eurogroup following the conclusion of the fourth review mission of Greece’s macroeconomic adjustment programme. After the present disbursement, total EFSF financial assistance for Greece will reach €140.9 billion. One more tranche of €1 billion may be disbursed by the EFSF as part of this €8.3 billion instalment, conditional upon the implementation of a further set of milestones.
