ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece should reach a deal with its euro zone partners and the International Monetary Fund next week on a package of reforms, which will help to unlock remaining bailout funds, the country's economy minister said on Wednesday.
"I think talks will lead to a deal next week. The agreement will close on (Greek Orthodox) Easter week," Economy Minister George Stathakis told Skai TV.
Last week Athens presented a list of reforms to its official creditors in a bid to show it is committed to living up to pledges of financial discipline and is worthy of aid as it scrambles to meet loan payments amid a cash crunch.
The list of proposed reforms Athens has presented to the Brussels Group includes revenues of 1.5 billion euros from privatisations this year, including the long-term lease of 14 regional airports and the sale of its largest port Piraeus.
Stathakis said the government had no plans to sell a majority 67 percent stake in Piraeus Port Authority (OLPr.AT) but would seek a joint venture with investors in which it would retain a substantial stake.
