European Central Bank studies next Greek rescue plan

Greece could get another 20 billion ($26.76 billion) in aid from its fellow euro countries and raise three times that through new austerity measures such as selling government property, a top European Central Bank official says.

Lorenzo Bini Smaghi, a member of the ECB's executive board, is quoted by the Financial Times as saying Greece needs between €60 billion and €70 billion through next year.

That gap could be filled in several ways, Bini Smaghi said, giving a rough sketch of a plan for additional assistance that was split between government and private-sector contributions.

The private sector money would come partly from selling government property as well as rolled-over investments from Greek banks and issuance of short-term government debt.

The Government half would be split, two-thirds from the euro area countries, or about €20 billion, and the rest from the International Monetary Fund.
