FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- The Institute of International Finance, a trade group representing international banks, said Wednesay that it made a new proposal on Greek government debt writedowns. A spokesman for the IIF said the proposal was for a voluntary debt exchange but didn't elaborate on the size of the haircuts bondholders would take under the plan. European officials have reportedly called for haircuts of around 60%. A Juy 21 agreement had envisioned private bondholders effectively taking writedowns of 21%.
