Following overnight talks, leaders from eurozone countries reached a unanimous deal to give Greece a new three-year bailout (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/greece-to-get-third-bailout-after-eurozone-leaders-strike-unanimous-agreement-2015-07-13), staving off the risk the Hellenic nation will be forced to leave the euro in a "Grexit".

"The decision gives Greece the chance to get back on the track for support from European partners. It also avoids the social, economical and political consequences that a negative outcome would have brought," said President of the European Council Donald Tusk in a news conference.

The deal needs to be approved by national parliaments (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/grexit-avoided-after-agreekment-is-sealed-say-eurozone-leaders-2015-07-13), including the Greek parliament, before formal negotiations about a bailout through the eurozone's bailout fund can begin.
