Stock markets have surged in the Far East amid signs that a deal to prevent Greece defaulting on its debt may be close at hand. The Greek government has outlined further austerity measures to appease its creditors. The German Chancellor Angela Merkel speaking after an emergency summit in Brussels said this constituted progress but work was needed to steady the proposals. Chris Moris is in Brussels.

远东股市大涨,诸多迹象表明可能很快达成有关阻止希腊违约的协议。希腊政府已提出进一步的紧缩措施来安抚其借贷者。德国总理安吉拉·默克尔在布鲁塞尔紧急峰会后讲话称已经取得进步,但还需要将这些提议确定下来。克里斯·莫里斯报道。

"Greece has to make a big debt repayment to the IMF in a week's time, on the same day that its current EU bailout expires. So time is short. And as he left the summit, the Greek Prime Minister Alexi Tsipras said the ball is now in the court of the European leaders. But after bruising five months negotiations, there's still plenty of skepticism about Greece around the Euro Zone. Earlier, finance ministers prompted by Germany's Wolfgang Schebler argued about whether capital control should be introduced as significant amounts of money continue to be withdrawn from Greek banks."

“希腊必须在一周内向国际货币基金组织偿还大笔贷款,就在同一天其欧盟纾困计划也到期。所以时间很紧迫,希腊总理阿列克谢·蒂西普拉斯在离开峰会时称现在要由欧洲领导人来做决定了。但在经过五个月的协商后,人们仍对希腊在欧元区的地位表示怀疑。早些时候,在德国人沃尔夫冈的提示下,财长们开始辩论是否实施资本控制,因为仍有相当大笔的资金被从希腊银行提取。”
