Greece debt repayment uncertain amid fresh round of talks

Cash-strapped nation is due to repay a770m on Tuesday, with its finance minister indicating it could avoid a default it was thought to be heading for

Greece and the eurozone face a week of fresh nail-biting uncertainty as the single currency area's finance ministers prepare to report on progress towards an agreement with Alexis Tsipras's government.

On Tuesday, Greece faces having to repay around a770m (560m) to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The two events had been widely linked. It was assumed that the cash-strapped Athens government would be unable to meet its obligations to the IMF without a cash-for-reforms deal with its creditors that would release more than a7bn.
