International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde ignored reports the institution is attempting to push Greece towards default, saying it is merely nonsense.
In a letter to Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Lagarde said the IMF holds the talks in good faith, not by threats, and they do not converse through leaks.
Her letter emerges as Wikileaks released a transcript of IMF officials talking over bailout negotiations, with one official saying a crisis could ignite an agreement.
Greece publicly sought an explanation following the leak, implying the comments meant the IMF deliberately delays debt talks until the nation is close to depleting its resources.
