Euro zone may delay Greek bailout payment-report (by Christopher Noble)
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Euro zone nations are debating whether to delay a 5.2 billion euro payment to Greece because some governments in the currency bloc are concerned about making payments to the debt stricken country before political upheaval there settles down, Dow Jones reported on Wednesday. Officials of the euro zone will hold conference calls in coming days to discuss the matter, the news service reported. The payment, which was set to be handed over to Greece on May 10, is the final instalment of a bailout for the country agreed in March. On Sunday Greece's voters elected many anti-austerity representatives in national elections and the newly elected parliament is struggling to form a government.
