ATHENS — Greek officials are planning to submit a proposal to eurozone finance ministers for breaking the impasse in debt negotiations between the new government in Athens and Greece’s European creditors.
Athens on Thursday will propose an extension of several months to the terms of the current bailout program, a government spokesman, Gavriil Sakellaridis, said on Wednesday. He declined to discuss specifics, including the length of the extension being sought, citing the delicacy of the negotiations.

“The approach in the Eurogroup was very clear, that the most realistic way forward is extension of the current program,” Mr. Dombrovskis added.
