Banks will reopen on Monday, Mardas says

In a radio interview, Mardas said that banks will able to offer more services to customers but only on an accounting form, such as money transfer from one account to another bank account. This will also include bank checks and bills. Transactions will be made normally but no cash will be paid. The only exception will be made for exporting enterprises, shipping companies and tourist enterprises which are bringing new money in the country and can use only 80 pct of this money for their payment obligations.

Mardas said that credit cards can be used normally abroad, although no cash can be raised from ATMs, while he stressed that the government was trying to resolve some problems with roaming and other participations, such as Google. He said that a ministerial decision next week will address these issues, mostly concerning telecommunication services.
