The International Monetary Fund asks for stricter measures setting it also as a prerequisite for its participation in the third bailout program.
While Labour Minister Giorgos Katrougalos claims that he has persuaded his European counterparts for the correctness of the social security bill proposed by the Greek government, the IMF seems to refuse accepting the 1.5% increase in contributions suggesting a 1% increase.

According to information, the IMF also believes that the reform will not be successful unless the government proceeds to main pension cuts.
