Greece defaults on $1.7 billion IMF payment

“Greece became the first developed country to default to the IMF, an organization of 188 nations that tries to keep the world economy stable.  Greece will now be cut off from access to IMF resources until the payment is made.  The move came hours after the country made a desperate attempt Tuesday to halt its plunge into economic chaos by requesting a new European bailout.  Greece asked for a two-year bailout from Europe, its third in six years.  Greek banks remained shut Tuesday and limits on cash withdrawals were in place as the country tried to stave off financial collapse before the vote. Daily withdrawals are limited to 60 euros, or about $67.”
