The mission held productive discussions on the situation, progress made, key challenges still facing the Greek economy and the policy priorities. Particular attention was paid to assessing the implementation of specific reform commitments for end-2019 annexed to the Eurogroup statement of June 2018 as well as the general commitment to continue and complete the key reforms launched under the ESM stability support programme. Close dialogue on economic policy priorities and challenges will continue going forward on a regular basis. The fifth enhanced surveillance report will be published next month.
