A Greek minister has said new proposals will be put to creditors ahead of an emergency EU summit planned for Monday.
State
Minister Alekos Flambouraris also told Greek media he believed the
European Central Bank (ECB) would not allow Greece's banks to collapse.
Reports say billions of euros have been withdrawn from Greek banks in the past week.
The summit comes amid attempts to prevent Greece defaulting on a €1.6bn (£1.1bn) IMF loan repayment.
The European Commission, the IMF and the ECB are unwilling to unlock bailout funds until Greece agrees to reforms. They want Greece to implement a series of
economic changes in areas such as pensions, VAT and on the budget
surplus before releasing €7.2bn of funds, which have been delayed since
February.
Details of the new proposals have not yet been released.
Monday deadline
Greek
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has said he believes "there will be a
solution based on respecting EU rules and democracy which would allow
Greece to return to growth in the euro".
But German Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned there must be a deal between Greece and its creditors ahead of Monday's summit.
Otherwise, she said, the summit would not be able to make any decision.
Mr Tsipras was due to hold further talks with his negotiating team in Athens on Saturday. Greece has less than two weeks before the IMF loan repayment is due.
If Greece fails to make the repayment, it risks having to leave the eurozone and possibly also the EU.
On
Friday, the European Central Bank (ECB) approved more emergency help
for Greece's banks. The amount of extra funding has not been officially
disclosed.
'Quiet withdrawals'
Reuters
news agency said withdrawals by Greek savers between Monday and Friday
reached about €4.2bn, which represents about 3% of household and
corporate deposits held by Greek banks at the end of April.
Close to €1bn was withdrawn on Friday alone, the financial website Euro2day said.
"There are no lines [queues] or panic, it has been a quiet and gradual phase of withdrawals," one banker told Reuters. A
fully fledged run on the banks could upset the plans of the Greek
government and its creditors, says BBC Europe correspondent Chris
Morris.
He says that any introduction of capital controls will depend on the behaviour of the Greek people.
He
says that if the outflow of deposits from banks reaches alarming levels
which no-one can really cope with, then the decision will be taken out
of policymakers' hands.
Greece - deal or no deal?
Option 1: No deal: Greece defaults on
IMF and ECB repayments; ECB pulls plug on emergency bank assistance
leading to run on Greek banks, capital controls and potential Grexit
Option 2: Greece agrees reform deal with creditors at last minute and avoids default, staying in euro
Option 3: No deal reached but both sides paper over cracks and Greece stays in euro for now
Greece will not accept cuts to pension
payments or public sector wages, saying two-thirds of pensioners are
either below or near the poverty line
International creditors want pension
spending cut by 1% of GDP - it accounts for 16% of Greek GDP. They say
their target is early retirement not individual pensions
EU officials say Greece has agreed to
budget surplus targets of 1% of GDP this year, followed by 2% in 2016
and 3.5% by 2018. Greece says nothing is agreed until everything is
agreed
Creditors also want a wider VAT base; Greece says it will not allow extra VAT on medicines or electricity bills
Greece complains creditors focus on
increasing taxes instead of cracking down on tax evasion; IMF is
concerned Athens is not offering credible reforms
