Greece's bailout inspectors in Athens amid debt relief hopes
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Bailout inspectors returned to Greece on Wednesday to complete a review of the government's economic reforms, which is needed before the country can get more rescue loans and much-needed debt relief.
The officials representing Greece's European creditors and the International Monetary Fund are expected to discuss the government's plans to manage the rising number of banks' bad loans and to overhaul the troubled pension system.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is facing widespread opposition to pension reforms that are set to increase contributions for employers and salary earners so that hefty cuts in monthly payments to retirees can be avoided.
