THE European Union says Greece has reached a major financial milestone that was required if it were to be granted more debt relief.
European Commission spokesman Simon O'Connor said on Wednesday that Greece's government revenues last year exceeded expenditure when interest payment and other items were excluded.
He says Greece's so-called primary budget surplus of 1.5 billion euros ($A2.23 billion) or 0.8 per cent of its annual gross domestic product, is "well ahead of the 2013 target."
Greece's international creditors have said a primary surplus will entitle Greece to further debt relief. Discussions are set to be concluded in the second half of the year.
Most analysts expect the eurozone to lower the interest rates Greece pays on its loans or be granted another extension on when they have to be repaid.
