Greece has no immediate problem with government liquidity, but faces trouble in making debt payments to the IMF and European Central Bank in the spring and summer, Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said on Wednesday. "We will not have liquidity problems for the public sector. But we will definitely have a problem in repaying installments to the IMF now and to the ECB in July," he told Alpha Radio. A finance ministry official said on Tuesday that Greece expected to start discussions immediately with its EU/IMF partners on filling the state's funding gap.
