Greece and eurozone creditors reach deal

Greece has reached a deal with eurozone creditors to extend the country's bailout by four months.

At a meeting of finance ministers in Brussels on Friday, officials reach an agreement that will remove "the immediate risk of Greece running out of money next month," Reuters reports. On Thursday, Greece had requested a six-month extension on its loans.

Greece will be required to submit by Monday a list of the reform measures it will enact during the rest of the bailout time frame. Representatives from the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Commission will review the list on Tuesday. — Meghan DeMaria
