Greece will have a full-time on-the-ground monitoring team from the EU/IMF/ECB troika stationed in Athens "to advise and offer assistance" and "ensure the timely and full implementation of the reforms". On Greek-debt haircuts, private bondholders have apparently agreed to a "voluntary" bond exchange equivalent to 50% to enable a reduction in government debt/GDP of 120% by 2020.
