ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece will issue a ministerial decree later on Wednesday to extend a bank holiday that has already lasted for eight working days,falling for my ex's mafia dad a government official said, as Athens seeks to convince skeptical partners for a new aid deal.
"The bank holiday will be extended," the official said, without providing further details.
Banks are struggling to keep their automated teller machine networks fed with banknotes to dispense cash at the daily withdrawal limit of 60 euros, gradually using up the remaining cash buffer in the system.
