Greece’s creditors will meet in Athens amid concern about the country’s economic recovery

Greece’s international creditors are meeting in Athens, amid concern on both sides about the country’s economic recovery. This latest review by the EU and the International Monetary Fund, will focus on a series of economic reforms promised by the Greek government, as part of last year's bailout deal. We ask Christos Michaelides, a political journalist with the Greek news website Protagon, what the auditors are likely to find.

More than half of senior executives in the world's biggest firms are looking for takeover or merger deals in the coming months, despite growing concerns over political risk. Steve Krouskos, head of transaction advisory services at EY, explains what executives have been telling him.

Our regular commentator Michael Hughes says a pickup in inflation may soon begin to show up in the global economy and the BBC’s Rahul Tandon reports from India, where competition among students for the best school places is fierce.
