A bank run is developing in Greece - $893 million withdrawn from Greek banks since May 6th election
Under the spotlight again, Greece is now at the brink of an exit from the European Monetary Union (EMU). Breakdown in coalition talk further puts pressure on the euro. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble is calling the vote a "referendum on whether the country stays in the euro" as noted in Bloomberg.com. If the re-election puts an anti-bailout parilament leader in charge ie. Evangelos Venizelos of the socialist Pasok party, we can expect direction of a Greek Exit (Grexit). Greek bank run fears are surfacing as well. According to President Karolos Papoulias's website, "Anxious Greeks have withdrawn as much as 700 million euros ($893 million) from the nation's banks since the inconclusive May 6 election". Just the prospect of a Grexit can cause a run on the banks because the exit would shut out funding except from the ELA as noted on ZeroHedge.
