"… the cooperation with the Greek government is again productive. When the Eurogroup meets, I think there is a good chance that a decision might be taken on the next disbursement," Regling told Euronews on Monday.
Greece's international creditors, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Central Bank (ECB) and some eurozone nations, signed an agreement with Athens in 2015, approving a third bailout package in exchange for highly unpopular austerity reforms such as pension cuts and tax hikes as well as other changes to the Greek legislation.
In May, Eurogroup finance ministers held marathon talks on new loans for debt-ridden Greece, finally agreeing on a 10.3 billion-euro ($11.5 billion) aid package. This was preceded by the Greek lawmakers' approval of a set of extra measures demanded by international lenders to receive additional aid from the international creditors.
Last week, the Euro Working Group approved the disbursement of the 7.5-billion-euro tranche to Greece by June 20.
