Banking in Greece made up the relative majority of assets and liabilities of Greece as of 2008.[1] On 29 June 2015 banks were shut down and capital controls were imposed. As of October 2018, the capital controls were brought to an end.[2]
Greek banks are de facto owned by Eurozone countries through the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund, effectively a subsidiary of the EFSF/ESM administered by the Eurogroup outside official European Union institutions.[3]
