The government on Monday signaled its intent to offer another one-month extension to a ban on the sell-off of non-performing loans held by Greek banks to distress funds. The previous such ban was set to expire on April 15.
The same draft amendment includes an extension, until June 30, 2016, of a deadline to request a partial scale back of debts by “sustainable small businesses” and self-employed professionals towards the state, credit institutions or social security funds. The deadline also affects requests to work out installment plans for the repayment of debts.
The draft amendment was attached as a rider to a treaty with Moldavia. A vote in Parliament is expected on Wednesday.
