Citing an interim version of the findings of the troika of creditors, Spiegel said Athens would get an extra two years to carry out the reforms.

Greece has completed 60% of the reforms already demanded of it. Among the additional reforms demanded are a loosening of the hiring-and-firing laws, changes to the minimum-wage rules and a lifting of certain professional privileges, the report said.
