BRUSSELS: A European Union official tells The Associated Press that a deal has been reached under which Greece's debt would be reduced to 124% of GDP by 2020.
The original goal had been 120% of GDP.
The agreement would pave the way for indebted Greece to receive the next installment of its much-needed bailout loans.
Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, welcomed the agreement.
"It will certainly reduce the uncertainty and strengthen confidence in Europe and in Greece," Draghi said.
