The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said Monday it was ready to work with Athens and its European creditors to help resolve Greece's debt crisis, following a conditional agreement reached overnight on a new financial rescue. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde briefed the global lender's board on the outcome of weekend talks, and "the IMF stands reach to work with the Greek authorities and the European partners to help move this important effort forward," IMF spokesman Gerry Rice said in a statement.
