Begun this summer, negotiations between the Greek government and the EU-ECB-IMF troika, which represents the country's creditors, have entered their final phase.

Austerity measures to be approved by the troika include public sector wage cuts, lower pensions, and the possibly raising of retirement age from 65 to 67.
