As it has been going through all the year, the Euro group meeting will entirely be focused and dedicated to Greece only. Indeed, the Greek government expects to adopt all the remaining measures needed to get hold of €2 billion second sub-tranche of the bailout programme.

Senior officials from currency union's finance ministries were updated on Greece's implementation of around 50 promised overhauls, known as Milestones, during a conference call on Sunday afternoon.

While progress has been made on several issues including measures to substitute a tax on private education. The governance country's bailed out banks and treatment of overdue loans, Athens and its creditors will require more time to sign off on all overhauls, the officials claimed. Greece needs money to pay salaries and bills and to settle domestic issues. 

There will be "no agreement on €2 billion", one of the official claims.

On the other hand the officials claim, they now want Greece and its leaser foundations, which speak to 18 other euro zone governments too and the global money related asset to achieve an arrangement on upgrades by Wednesday, as reported by Market Watch.

Senior officials from the national finance ministries will reconvene Friday to assess the latest attempts, two officials said.
