Eurogroup admits Greece may need further aid in 2014

Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem admitted Thursday Greece would need a third bailout, saying its problems would not be solved by 2014.

Answering questions in the European Parliament here, Dijsselbloem said it was clear Greece's situation would remain grim despite recent progress.

"In this context, the Eurogroup has indicated clearly that it is committed to providing support for Greece in the current program and beyond until it regains market access," he said.

For the whole eurozone, he said, "We have to deal with structural problems in our economies to ensure economic growth to rebound".

Dijsselbloem also answered questions on the banking union and a stress test.

Debate over new aid for Greece in 2014 has increasec recently in the eurozone. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said last month Greece was not out of woods and needed further aid.
