• State-guaranteed bonds could be similar to Italian plan

• Lenders’ shares rebound, led by Piraeus, Eurobank, Alpha Bank

 
Greece is weighing a plan to help banks speed up their bad-loan disposals, possibly including a government guarantee, in a bid to restore confidence in the battered sector, people familiar with the matter said.

The SPVs would issue bonds, some guaranteed by the state, and sell them to investors, the people said, asking not to be named as the information isn’t public.
