Eurozone finance ministers and the IMF have reached agreement on the next instalment of an urgently-needed bailout for Greece.

It’s hoped the loans – worth 44 billion Euro – will save Greece’s struggling banks and allow the government to pay wages and pensions next month.

The aim of the plan is to get Greece’s overall debt level down to about 124 per cent of economic output – it’s currently at 180 per cent.
