Although estimates vary, Kathimerini, citing Greek banking officials, puts Friday's deposit outflow at €1.7 billion. If true, that would mark a serious step up from the estimated €1.2 billion that left the banking system on Thursday and serves to underscore just how critical the ECB's emergency decision to lift the ELA cap by €1.8 billion truly was. "Banks expressed relief following Frankfurt's reaction, acknowledging that Friday could have ended very differently without a new cash injection," the Greek daily said, adding that the ECB's expectation of "a positive outcome in Monday's meeting", suggests ELA could be frozen if the stalemate remains after leaders convene the ad hoc summit.
