Paris, Costas<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0Talley, Ian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The International Monetary Fund believes Greece’s debt is unsustainable and has told European government and central bank officials that Athens should consider restructuring by next year, three people familiar with the situation said Saturday.<\/p>\n

“The IMF believes the debt situation in Greece is unsustainable,” one of those people, who has direct knowledge of the matter, told Dow Jones Newswires. “Senior (IMF) officials have told the parties involved that restructuring should be considered soon,” including the European Commission and euro-zone governments.<\/p>\n

IMF spokesman William Murray denied the IMF was recommending a restructuring of all Greek debt including that held by private holders, but the IMF has said the fund has considered extending the loan repayment schedule for Athens, a form of restructuring.<\/p>\n

“So far we’re working with the program as it has been established,” IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said, speaking at a press briefing at the close of spring meetings here.<\/p>\n

“For this program to work, we need two things: we need the country to do exactly as we said in the program, even if it’s difficult,” Mr. Strauss-Kahn said of Greece. “We also need our partners, namely the Europeans, to also do their homework in terms of crisis management.”<\/p>\n
