Athens Stock Exchange To Reopen For First Time In A Month

Date 03/08/2015

The Athens Stock Exchange is set to plunge by as much as 20% today when trading finally resumes after a five-week closure, traders have predicted.

The exchange was shut just before the Greek government imposed capital controls at the height of the debt crisis.

The resumption in trading comes amid tense bailout negotiations that almost resulted in a "Grexit" from the 19-member eurozone.
