On July 13, the Eurogroup agreed a new bailout for Greece, with $95 billion to be given to the country over the next three years in exchange for economic reforms and additional austerity measures.
The European Commission offered Athens a short-term bridge loan worth at least 7 billion euro ($7.6 billion), which Greece used on Monday to make debt repayments to the ECB and the IMF.
Greece has received about $270 billion from its main lenders, the European Union, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Central Bank (ECB), under two bailout programs, the last of which expired on June 30.
