Video: Greece: Queues lengthen at ATMs as banks close for a week
Lines at Greek banks' ATMs grew long early on Monday after the government closed banks for all week with a daily 60-euro limit on cash withdrawals.
Greek citizens are racing to banks to withdraw money.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras stated that the government had no choice but to close the banks, after the European Central Bank declined to provide further emergency liquidity assistance to Greece’s banking system. The banks are to remain shut until the referendum on Sunday, in which residents will vote on the bailout conditions set by Greece’s lenders.
Greece's capital controls imposed:
- A maximum of €60 (£42; $66) can be withdrawn from an account in one day.
- Overseas transfers of cash prohibited, except for vital, pre-approved commercial transactions.
