The European Commission has sent € 7.16 billion to Athens as part of emergency financing or bridge loan to prevent a default by Greece to European Central Bank (ECB), which would have forced ECB to withdraw Emergency Lending Assistance (ELA) to Greek banks.
Among this amount € 4.2 billion will go to ECB as part of € 3.6 billion in bond payment and €0.6 billion towards interest payment.
Greece will clear its arrears with International Monetary Fund (IMF) by repaying € 2 billion.
Another €0.6 billion will go towards Bank of Greece, which was also defaulted by Greek government.
The remaining amount € 1.76 billion will go to an Escrow account which will serve as a Guarantee for this bridge loan provided by European Financial Stability Mechanism (EFSM). ECB will put €1.85 billion to this escrow account, which is the profit it made by holding Greek bonds.
