The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said Thursday that it does not expect Greece to exit the eurozone after Sunday's general election that could be won by the anti-austerity leftist Syriza party. "We do not see a Greek exit as a possible outcome," IMF spokesman Bill Murray told reporters in Washington. The IMF has been a partner with the European Union in a multi-million euro financial rescue of Greece since 2010. Syriza opposes the austerity program Greece accepted in exchange for the rescue, and plans to renegotiate the deal. Murray declined comment on the potential outcome of the vote, saying that "we fully expect to be engaged with whatever government is elected."
