Greek Banks Seen Days From Breakdown as Bailout Ta
Post# of 173
Greek banks may be facing the end game.
The European Central Bank is tightening the credit that’s their only lifeline. Money was pouring out of customer accounts before banks were closed and capital controls imposed a week ago. The prospects of Greece reaching a deal with creditors remain slim after its voters rejected austerity on Sunday.
It all adds up to the probability that shareholders, depositors and taxpayers will be tapped to avoid outright failure, according to a person with direct knowledge of discussions on lenders. The crippled financial system poses the greatest threat to Greece remaining in the euro, and the ECB’s cutback in collateral may worsen the banks’ plight.
