Greece on Tuesday repaid a so-called samurai bond to private creditors in Japan, averting a default on its commercial debt.

"Payment of a sum of 20 billion yen (148 million euros) was confirmed this morning", an official from Mizuho Financial Bank, manager of the bond, told the French News Agency. The bond loan was issued by the Greek state 20 years ago.
