The Greek state and various general government entities allocated 914 million euros last month to cover arrears to the private sector, with the overall arrears figure dropping significantly - another creditor-mandated objective that continues after the end of the third bailout.
According to Bank of Greece (BoG) figures released this week, a total of 2.023 million euros were allocated to cover the state's arrears over the Jan-Aug 2018 period.
August's outlay was the biggest of the year, and one of the largest recorded since mid 2015.
