    Greek banks to remain shut for a week
  • Greece decided to shut down banks until 7 July and restricted cash withdrawals to 60 euros a day, to avoid collapse of its financial system.

    This came after the European Central Bank said it would not extend emergency funding. The banking system had neared insolvency after panicked account holders withdrew billions of euros.

    Protests are taking place across Athens post this announcement.
