Finnish ‘Ok’ to Greek bailout plan

Finnish Finance Minister Alexander Stubb on Thursday said his country is ready to participate in the third Greek bailout deal.

“We have come a long way during the summer. The future of euro was at stake…. but now we’ve got a solution and will live with it,” Stubb said after the Finnish parliament’s grand committee in favor.

He added that it was important for the country that the IMF remain involved in the process.

The decision from Helsinki was a welcome sign, given the hardline stance often displayed by Finnish leadership on the issue of eurozone bailouts.
