Greece delays austerity vote, warns of 'chaos' - Yahoo! Finance
Greece's coalition government will delay a vote on major new
austerity measures by another week, warning Tuesday there would be
financial "chaos" if a deal is not reached.
Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras told
reporters that the austerity measures, worth €13.5 billion ($17.4
billion), would be submitted to parliament next week, as the three
parties in government continue to disagree over new savings demanded by
international bailout lenders.
Stournaras denied local media reports that the
bill could be broken up to ease objections by a left-wing junior
coalition partner.
