IMF appears to be only one looking out for Greece's long-term future

In a short, sharp and merciless analysis of the bailout terms for Athens, the International Monetary Fund predicts we will all be back here again soon

The timing was impeccable. A day after Greece and the eurozone concluded bailout negotiations, but 24 hours before the hugely contentious deal had been voted on in Athens, the International Monetary Fund dropped a bombshell: the agreement won't work.

In four crisp pages, the IMF's updated debt sustainability analysis ripped to shreds the notion that Greece will be able to deliver on the promises it has been forced to make in order to keep its banks open and stay in the single currency.
