希臘雅典證交所開盤後大幅下跌

Greek stocks dropped sharply Monday when the Athens Stock Exchange opened for the first time in five weeks. The exchange index lost nearly 23 percent in the opening moments of trading. Shares steadily regained some ground, with the index down less than 19 percent after two hours.

The government closed the stock exchange in late June when it also shut down banks and imposed limits on money withdrawals in response to the country's debt crisis.

Greece reached an agreement on a new bailout with the European Union and International Monetary Fund last month and reopened the banks on July 20. Capital controls are still in place, and the government continues to negotiate with creditors on exact terms for a new rescue package that could be worth up to $94 billion.

The bailout is Greece's third in the span of five years. It came after weeks of negotiations and controversy that included Greek voters rejecting an earlier bailout package in a referendum. Many Greeks oppose the type of harsh austerity measures creditors’ demand, saying they only have made the country's economic woes worse.希臘股市星期一大幅下跌，交易指數開盤後下跌近23%。股價後來穩步回升，兩小時後交易指數下跌不到19%。這是雅典證券交易所五週來首次開盤。

希臘政府爲應對國家債務危機，今年六月底關閉了股票交易所和銀行，客戶只能少量限額提款。

希臘上月與歐盟和國際貨幣基金組織達成新的救助協議，並在7月20日重新開放銀行，不過仍然實行資本管制。目前希臘繼續與債權人就價值可能高達940億美元的新救助計劃的具體條件進行談判。

這是歐盟五年來第三次對希臘實施救助計劃。希臘今年曾就是否接受救助條件舉行全民公投，結果多數人反對。許多希臘人反對應債權人的要求實行嚴格的緊縮政策。認爲這隻會加重希臘的經濟問題。
