IMF made the threat on Tuesday, a day before Greece's parliament were due to start debating on a new package of austerity measures and economic reforms to secure the new bailout deal that was reached between Greece and its EU creditors on Monday.
"European member states would like the IMF to stay involved, but clearly, it will have to meet our criteria," a senior official said, explaining that EU partners had to have a solid plan that would make it possible for Greece to repay its debt. The official spoke on condition of anonymity.

IMF said the agreement reached between Athens and European leaders is "not very concrete", with some key issues not discussed.
For the IMF executive board to weigh joining the new bailout, "we need a concrete and ambitious solution to this debt problem," the official said.

The IMF suggested three choices: stretching out debt repayments over decades, with a 30-year grace period, paying cash regularly to Athens to repay its debts or writing down some of the current value of the debt via a "haircut".
