Citing a letter to the parliamentary budget committee it had seen, Handelsblatt reported on Wednesday that Schaeuble's ministry had signaled a willingness to ease Greece's debt burden in a concession to the International Monetary Fund.

"These measures would be contingent on full implementation of the [Greek reform] program by 2018," Handelsblatt quoted the ministry as saying in the letter.
