Eurozone
finance ministers have agreed on a new bailout deal for Greece after Athens
backed the plan. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said the deal
sent a message "loud and clear" - Greece will stay in the eurozone.
The first tranche will be of €26bn - €10bn
to recapitalize Greek banks and €16bn in several instalments, the first of which
- €13bn - will be made by 20 August, when Greece must repay about €3.2bn to the
European Central Bank (ECB).
The deal comes at a heavy political price
for Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, who has faced a rebellion in his left-wing
Syriza party.
More than 40 Syriza MPs voted against him
when parliament decided on the bailout agreement on Friday, after all-night talks.
Reports in Greece suggest he will seek a vote of confidence in parliament next
week, bringing the prospect of snap elections closer.
