希臘銀行關(guān)閉 民眾排隊取錢
Banks in Greece are closed for a second day. In the capital Athens, people are queuing up to withdraw cash from ATMs, which has been limited to just 60 euros a day.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced on Sunday on national television that banks in the country will close all this week, and that capital controls will likely stay in place for months. That also includes restricting transactions and cashing in cheques.
The Prime Minister called on people to stay calm and reassured their deposits, salaries and pensions are "absolutely secure". Athens must also must repay billions of euros to the European Central Bank in the next few months. On Sunday, a referendum will be held in Greece to decide whether to accept creditors' latest reform proposals.
