The Bank of Greece said today that the situation of deposits in Greek banks is “completely controlled”, from news of a massive survey of movement of deposits.
In a statement, the Bank of Greece stresses that “are not correct” the information appeared in the media, according to which the European Central Bank (ECB) could provide liquidity to Greek banks before the elections of January 25.
The Greek central bank also stressed that the ECB is offering credit lines to countries subject to redemption since 2010, something that has not changed.
The possibility of Syriza victory, left, caused nervousness in the markets in recent weeks, with a drop in the Athens Stock Exchange.
In an interview with American newspaper Wall Street Journal, the Greek Finance Minister Gikas Jarduvelis, said that in recent months, bank deposits fell by 3,000 million euros, much less stressed, than 70,000 million in five years.
“The probability of a capital flight is minimal. Citizens see that deposits are safe, “said the minister, assuming that a victory for Syriza could” complicate Greece’s efforts to negotiate a new credit facility with its creditors. ”
Alexis Tsipras, leader of Syriza, has been advocating a government of his party does not intend to abandon the euro, admitting, however, a tough negotiation with the ‘troika’ (European Central Bank, International Monetary Fund and European Commission).
