Greek bank official dismisses ‘haircut’ report as “baseless”

“Greek leaders have repeatedly dismissed the possibility they will have to ‘bail-in’ depositors to prevent the collapse of the banking system.  But citing bankers and businesspeople with knowledge of the measures, the Financial Times reported: ‘The plans, which call for a ‘haircut’ of at least 30 percent on deposits above 8,000 euros, sketch out an increasingly likely scenario for at least one bank.’  The report quoted a source as saying: ‘It (the haircut) would take place in the context of an overall restructuring of the bank sector once Greece is back in a bailout programme.’ The head of Greece’s Bank Association dismissed the report as ‘completely baseless’.”
