But policymakers have been slow to put the measures in place.
At the same time, the Greek government is still arguing for debt relief, which is also thought to be a favoured move by the IMF.
However, the EC led by Germany is thought to be completely against writing off any of the money owed by the beleaguered country, out of fear Italy, Spain and Portugal could demand similar treatment.
