Greece will loosen restrictions on capital movements in order to allow domestic investors that want to buy stock through the Athens Stock Exchange to use the locked money they have deposited in Greek banks, Charalampos Gotsis, the president of the Commission for the oversight of the Greek securities market announced. "As a result, domestic investors will be able to buy shares with old and new funds, eliminating the discriminations that existed between foreign and local investors", said Gotsis.

Investors will now have the ability to buy shares with money from outside the country, with the cash that they hold locally or in bank deposits. But if these investors sell their shares, they will not be allowed to send the money abroad,Gotsis warned. Read more on Bursa.ro
