[01] Eurogroup on April 7 to discuss progress in talks between Greece and institutions

"These talks focus on the main outstanding issues that need to be solved in order to reach an agreement on the overall policy package that would allow the second review of the program to be completed. These include labour market and energy sector reforms and the rebalancing of Greece's public finances over the medium term, i.e. in 2018 and beyond," it said.

The ministers will also hear a presentation by the Chair of the European Central Bank's (ECB) Supervisory Board, Danièle Nouy, on the ECB annual report on supervisory activities in 2016 and the priorities for 2017.

A third topic will be the initial findings of Cyprus' second post-program surveillance mission that took place at the end of March.

[02] BoG: Promotions of executives are the sole responsibility of the bank

"The relevant procedures are the sole responsibility of the independent BoG based on the Maastricht Treaty and nobody else's," the spokesperson said. "At any case, the promotions were done in a meritocratic manner, which cannot be questioned. The Bank of Greece is not a public utility company," he added.

The SYRIZA MPs had accused Stournaras of making unjustified promotions of executives and directors.
