The World Bank and the IMF hold their spring meetings in Washington, and Greece is of course the main folder.
Faced with creditors increasingly pressing, Athens will she be able to honor its commitments?
Yanis Varoufakis, Greek Finance Minister continues to promise that the required reforms are in place, but it is very vague:
"We will make compromises, we will compromise, and we will compromise; and that in order to reach a quick agreement, but we do not we will compromise we have not elected to that. "
There are rumors that Greece would have requested a postponement of his more immediate deadlines. It does not matter to Christine Lagarde, IMF chief:
"This is clearly not a scheme that would be appropriate or advisable in the current situation. We have never seen any advanced economy request payment deferrals. "
Greece awaits a new tranche of € 7.2 billion, but given the difficulty of reaching an agreement with the IMF and the World Bank, the "Grexit" scenario of a Greek exit from the euro is becoming less taboo.
