- Eurozone Ministers Approve New Greek Bailout
- 歐元區財長批准向希臘提供新援助

- 財政援助計劃可能減少希臘政府的債務，在 2020 年底前把希臘債務同經濟產出的比例從目前的 160 % 下降到稍稍高於 120 %；這是國際貨幣基金組織認為可持續的最高債務水準。
- It also likely averts a Greek default next month on $19 billion in financial obligations, although the country faces years of austere spending.
- 這筆援助也可能避免希臘下個月對 190 億美元的財政債務違約，不過希臘必須在今後很多年縮減開支。

- 希臘總理盧卡斯‧帕帕季莫斯稱，這份協議是 “歷史性的”，並表示，該協議將為希臘提供新的推進經濟的機會。
- The deal was reached after 13 hours of negotiations in Brussels.
- 這項協議經歷 13 個小時的談判後在布魯塞爾達成。
- Greece's large private creditors agreed to take on a bigger-than-expected 53.5-percent face-value loss on their bonds. More than $141 billion of Greece's debt will be erased.
- 希臘的大型私人借貸方同意承擔希臘所欠債券面值 53.5 % 的損失，這一比例高於預期；希臘將免於支付超過 1410 億美元的債務。
