Greece 'running out of money' as hopes of imminent deal to end debt crisis fade

Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister and leader of the Eurogroup says he still expects an agreement to be reached in the coming weeks

The head of the Eurogroup of finance ministers has said Greece is running out of money as hopes of a deal to end the country's worsening debt crisis by the end of this week have again been dashed.

Sources in Brussels said there was no prospect of concluding negotiations between the Syriza-led coalition in Athens and its creditors by the time the 18 finance ministers meet in Riga at the end of this week.
