Eurozone partners put back a decision on whether to resume bailout funding for Greece, but categorically ruled out any chance of a debt default.
Eurogroup chairman Jean-Claude Juncker said the currency partners had asked the Greek government to make further savings in 2012 and 2013 to secure EU and IMF approval at a special eurozone meeting called for October 13, leading to a "definite and final decision in the course of October," because Greece said it does not need eight billion euros in blocked loans until November.
