ATHENS  Officials with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund recommended on Friday that Greece receive its fourth round of bailout financing.

The officials said that Greece was broadly on track with an economic recovery program but that it must push through unpopular structural changes and commit to large-scale privatization if it is to emerge from its debt crisis.

Still, they said that they would recommend the release next month of another 15 billion euros ($20.3 billion).

“There have been some delays and shortfalls, but this should not detract from the fact that this very ambitious program is broadly on track,” Poul M. Thomsen, the head of the I.M.F.’s mission to Greece, said in Athens.
