FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The debt relief granted by euro zone governments to Greece will increase the country's ability to repay its dues "in the medium term", the president of the European Central Bank, , said in a letter published on Friday.

"We welcome the agreement reached by the Eurogroup on 22 June, which we believe will improve debt sustainability in the medium term," he said in a letter to a member of the European Parliament.

"We also welcome the Eurogroup's readiness to consider further debt measures in the long term in case adverse economic developments were to materialise."
