Eurogroup president Jean-Claude Juncker has said he is confident a decision will be taken on a second bailout for Greece on Monday.
Mr Juncker said Greece had made substantial progress in fulfilling the conditions required before the €130bn could be released.
However, he made clear some matters remained open on making sure the bailout plan is carried out in full, without giving any details.
He was speaking after a conference call of the 17 eurozone finance ministers last night.
Earlier, Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said the cabinet had decided how to plug a €325m gap in the €3.3bn of extra budget savings this year, which the European Union and International Monetary Fund are demanding.
And he noted that the leaders of both parties in the government of Prime Minister Lucas Papademos had given written undertakings to implement the austerity measures, which provoked a night of fighting, arson and looting in Athens on Sunday.
Greece needs the funds to avoid bankruptcy when €14.5bn of debt repayments are due on 20 March.
Mr Venizelos said he hoped eurozone officials could tie up all the issues before the ministerial Eurogroup meets on Monday, opening the way for a bond swap deal with Greece's private creditors, known as PSI, which will reduce its debt mountain.
Greece had said it must initiate a debt swap deal with private sector bondholders by tomorrow to meet its debt deadline. It was hoping to win the eurozone's backing for its second bailout this week.
If that backing now comes on Monday, it is possible the debt swap could start mid-next week.
