Greece’s lenders to resume bailout review

ATHENS: Negotiations between Greece and its creditors on the first review of the country’s bailout will resume Monday, against the backdrop of ongoing demonstrations by farmers protesting pension reforms imposed by international lenders.

The Greek finance ministry confirmed the resumption of the talks, which come as farmers continue to blockade highways in several places over the government’s plans to scrap benefits such as income tax breaks and cheaper fuels and push through reforms to a national insurance scheme.
