Greek debt crisis: Rush expected as banks reopen

Greek banks are set to reopen, with controls, after three weeks of closures sparked by the deadlock over the country's debt.

From Monday, the daily limit becomes a weekly one, capped at €420 (£291), meaning Greeks will not have to queue every day.

They will also pay more on a range of goods and services, including taxis and restaurants, with VAT rising from 13% to 23%.
