The 15 euro countries providing financial aid to Greece will have strict demands. The finance ministers of both France and Germany claimed they do not wish to just donate billions of Euros to Greece, but that the money is intended to stabilize the country as soon as possible. Last Friday Greece requested the euro countries and the IMF for financial aid.

Last week the IMF presented a plan for a dual bank fee: one based on the size of the balance sheet and one based on profits and bonuses. The IMF hopes to present the bill for the crisis to the banks with this measure and create an insurance against future crises. The finance ministers of the G20 have postponed their decision on the bank fee. They have asked the IMF to further investigate the bank fee.
