Reuters reports that negotiators are optimistic

  • EU told Greek bailout negotiators are on track for potential draft deal Tuesday
  • Eurogroup could meet Aug 14 to approve third bailout
  • Greek govt will be asked to approve bailout deal between next Tues and Thurs
  • Greek parliament expected to enact further legislation before Aug 20
  • No major conflict remains, but some countries pressing for more long-term details

It would be just lovely to get Greece off the front (and back) pages by the end of August.
