Debt relief will help Greece repay 'in the medium term': ECB chief

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The debt relief granted by euro zone governments to Greece will increase the country's ability to repay its dues "in the medium term", the president of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, said in a letter published on Friday.

"We welcome the agreement reached by the Eurogroup on 22 June, which we believe will improve debt sustainability in the medium term," he said in a letter to a member of the European Parliament.
