Malta will not be forking out more money than originally committed in the first and second bailout packages for Greece, Finance Minister Tonio Fenech said this afternoon.

While the country committed €80 million in the first package, it provided a financial guarantee with the European Financial Stability Facility in the second.

Speaking during a video conference after a marathon meeting of Eurozone finance ministers yesterday that was followed by another meeting of EU finance ministers this morning, Mr Fenech said that the European Commission presented a report which identified 12 countries at risk of new economic crises.

Malta was not among these countries, and this was confirmation that Malta's economy was structurally sound.
