German Chancellor Angela Merkel is willing to allow Greece extra time to meet its deficit goals, up to the most a couple of weeks, German daily Rheinische Post reported Friday citing government sources.
The Greek government, however, announced on Thursday that it is seeking a postponement of the deficit goals for at least two years, MNI reported.
According to Rheinische Post, the preliminary report on Greece by the so-called troika of the EU Commission, ECB and IMF shows that the country has missed so far 210 out of 300 concrete demands for fiscal consolidation.
