ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece will tap bond markets in the next three months for the first time since it needed international rescue loans in 2010, the finance minister said Tuesday, hours after fellow eurozone countries agreed to release more bailout funds.
Greece has been locked out of the international bond market by high interest rates for the past four years after acknowledging in 2009 that some of its financial data had been falsified. Since 2010, the government has relied on the rescue loans and had to impose strict austerity measures to keep them coming.
