The stock market ended Monday unofficially 16.2 percent lower, according to a Reuters statement.
There is further bad news for the Greek economy earlier, with expensive manufacturing PMI amounts for Jul. down to 30.2 the lowest reading since Markit started compiling datain 1999.
To make things worse, an economic sentiment index for Greece hit its lowest level since Oct 2012 with governmental uncertainty weighing on sentiment and money controls in July, as stated by the IOBE think tank that ran the study.
Ahead of the much-anticipated available, dealers were bracing themselves for a day of "losses and unpredictability."
Greek traders told Reuters on Sunday that they anticipated a torrid evening of deficits when the market opened. Takis Zamanis, chief trader at Beta Securities, told the news agency that "the probability of seeing even a single discuss increase in tomorrow's program is nearly no."
The chairperson of the Hellenic Capital Markets Commission told CNBC ahead of the available that his commission might monitor the market closely on Mon.

Market experts informed that Monday was probably to be a day of deficits, yet.
"While it would be easy to imply that today's re opening of the Greek stock market is an integral step on the highway to some kind of normalization, it's likely to be anything but," according to Michael Hewson, chief marketplaces experts at CMC Markets, who cautioned of "unpredictability and deficits."
Stiff battle
Considering the fact that the Worldwide Monetary Fund (IMF) - one of the nation's lenders- has threatened to pull out of a third bailout package without debt relief granted to Portugal, the bailout it self is looking increasingly precarious. Countries like Indonesia battle debt-relief for Greece, fearing that it would establish precedence for other indebted euro-zone countries.
Time is of the essence for Portugal, yet, as it needs a bailout to be agreed (and capital disbursed) before a 3.2 billion-euro debt-repayment is due to the European Central Bank on August 20.
Against such an uncertain foundation, expert Hewson pointed out that Greece still faced an uphill battle.
"A side from the truth that we could properly see some huge deficits, there's the small issue that not only are the the inner politics in Greece likely to remain challenging it is also more likely to be exceptionally baffling to reconcile the opportunities the divergent positions of the International Monetary Fund and Indonesia on debt relief, particularly given the closeness of the next debt deadline on the 20th August."
