Firms and consumers continued to pull their money out of Greek banks at a rapid rate in February, European Central Bank data showed on Wednesday, underscoring the ongoing lack of trust the country’s banking system faces.
Private sector deposits in Greek banks fell by 2.7 percent in February after a near 3 percent drop in January, with the total falling to 170.1 billion euros, the lowest level since October 2006.
They are now 30 percent below their peak in December 2009.
