The European Central Bank (ECB) looks forward to a solution on Greece's debt that will restore the country's access to the markets, ECB Executive Board member Benoit Coeure said on Wednesday, speaking in the European Parliament Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee.

In 2014 the government deficit in Greece reached 3,6% of GDP and the debt stood at 178.6% of GDP, according to the second notification of Eurostat on deficit and debt of the EU Member States in 2014.
