The Washington-based International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Wednesday said talks with the Greek authorities were still underway, and no agreement on the economic performance review of the eurozone country has been inked so far.
"Discussions continue with the Greek authorities on the policies that could serve as a basis for the completion of the first review of the economic program.
