    If Greece had cancelled the referendum and done the deal outlined in the Tspiras letter last Wednesday, it'd be seen as a creditor victory. 

    But if the exact same deal was done this week, it'll look like a Greek win.

    Jeroen Dijsselbloem, external , who heads the eurozone's group of finance ministers, says he takes note of the outcome of the referendum but: 

    Quote Message

    This result is very regrettable for the future of Greece. For recovery of the Greek economy, difficult measures and reforms are inevitable. We will now wait for the initiatives of the Greek authorities.

    He says the Eurogroup will discuss the state of play on 7 July.

  10. So...what next?published at 23:15

    A few days ago, the BBC's World Service's economics correspondent, Andrew Walker, wrote about the possible outcomes for Greece, including a "No" vote.

    Here's what he had to say:

    Quote Message

    This scenario would herald a long period of uncertainty and crisis, ending with Greece departing the eurozone and bringing back its own national currency, presumably with the same name as the old one, the drachma.

    The President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz says, external that he believes a no vote in Greece's referendum leaves the country in a worse position for negotiating their debt crisis. 

    Quote Message

    This is a difficult day. It is a broad majority in Greece and the promise of Prime Minister Tsipras to the Greek people, that with the no the position of Greece for negotiating a better deal would become better, is in my eyes not true.

    He adds the vote of the Greek people must be respected but warns that it is up to Greece's government to convince the 18 other member states of the eurozone that it is possible to renegotiate.

    Mr Schulz finishes his statement by saying that he hopes that meaningful proposals from the Greek government will arrive in the coming hours because "if not, we are entering a very difficult and even dramatic time."

  16. 'Tomorrow will be a very hairy day'published at 22:37

    Greek banks are desperately in need of a lender of last resort to save them, and the Greek economy.

    And - sad to say - no banker or central banker to whom I have spoken believes the European Central Bank can fulfill that function - because it is struggling to prove to itself that Greek banks have adequate assets to pledge to it as security for new loans.

    There are only two options. The Bank of Greece could make unsecured loans to Greek banks without the ECB's permission - which would provoke a furious reaction from Eurozone leaders and would be seen by most of them as tantamount to leaving the euro.

    Or it can explicitly create a new currency, a new drachma, which it could then use to provide vital finance to Greek banks and the Greek economy. This huge risk, of Greek exit from the euro, is tonight preoccupying governments, central banks and investors all over the world. Tomorrow will be a very hairy day on markets.

    We are still waiting for the final result in Greece - just under 90% of the votes have been counted - but diplomatic talks are already under way.

    A statement by the European Commission says EU chief Jean-Claude Juncker has already started talking with 18 Eurozone leaders, external - presumably the one left out is Greece.

    On Monday morning, he will speak with Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the head of the Eurogroup, and Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank.

    You may have heard the term 'crucial talks about Greece's future' used in the last few weeks - it's fair to say these ones are pretty crucial too.
