Eurozone financial ministers are considering a "soft restructuring" of Greece's debts in return for progress on its privatisation plans.
Greece got a 110bn euro ($136bn; £94bn) bail-out in 2010, but there is growing acceptance that it was not enough.
On Monday, the ministers approved a 78bn euro bail-out for Portugal.
The talks in Brussels have been overshadowed by the arrest of IMF boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn in New York, for the sexual assault of a hotel maid.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has also approved 1.58bn euros in new assistance to the Irish Republic.
