Just hours after the publication of the IMF report, on Wednesday night, that mentioned the necessity for new measures in 2014, Christine Lagarde expressed the opposite view.

Prime Minister Antonis Samaras will be leaving for the US tomorrow afternoon for a round of meetings that will last until Thursday.

IMF chief Christine Lagarde denied that the Fund had erred in the time it proposed for restructuring the Greek debt, essentially refuting a report issued by the IMF at the beginning of summer, which said the decision had been delayed.
