Greek PM Tsipras Says Expects ‘Positive News’ on Debt by Year End

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Wednesday he expected a positive outcome to discussions on debt relief for the country this year.

Greece’s debt pile corresponds to 176 percent of its national output. Lenders have promised to look at how Greece’s debt mountain can be made sustainable.

“By the end of the year we anticipate positive news on this front,” Tsipras said during a parliamentary debate.
