Greece is facing hard economic time. It has liabilities to European partnership. In order to reach the goals concerning the bailout, the newly elected government is trying to find the best solutions as soon as possible. After tough meetings with the creditors and the representatives of the European institutions that are involved in the deal, Greece has come up with the solution which they submitted to the Eurogroup. Bellow is timeline of key risk events that Greece is going to accomplish in the next 4 months, Bloomberg.com reports.

March 5: European Central Bank makes a decision about monetary policy for the euro area.

March 9: Eurogroup meeting.

March 18: ECB decision on ELA (Emergency Liquidity Assistance) for the Greek Banks. It will contain the question about Greece inclusion to the new monetary policy.
