“If no deal is reached there to disburse the rest of Greece’s bailout funds, then Greece will reportedly have to scrape the bottom of the barrel in order to meet its pension and civil service wage bills at the end of the month, and leave a very tense situation into the next Eurogroup meeting on 11 May, with a chunky €750mn payment due to the IMF the very next day”.
