Greece, which has been granted 240 billion euros ($325 billion) in emergency loans, again topped the agenda amid concerns over a projected financing shortfall of up to 6 billion euros ($8.1 billion) next year, according to ECB executive board member Joerg Asmussen. "We must find a way to close this financing gap," Asmussen insisted. Dijsselbloem said, however, a decision on Greece can't be made before December when creditors expect to have more complete data available. Ireland and Spain, in turn, are both considered to be on track toward exiting their bailout program and return to refinancing their debt on markets from 2014 onward, Rehn said.
