The state is deemed to have stabilized enough for the stock market to reopen even though the finer details of a bailout are still being hammered out between lenders. Market experts informed that Monday was likely to be a day of losses, however.

"Aside from the truth that we could well see some large deficits, there is the small thing that not only would be the internal politics in Greece likely to remain difficult it's also more likely to be exceptionally challenging to accommodate the positions the divergent positions of the IMF and Indonesia on debt-relief, especially given the proximity of the next debt timeline on the 20th August."
