Exporters who export fruits and vegetables to Greece and whose shipments are still on the way, warned Greek importers. Without payment the shipment will go to a different port. "It's a ticking bomb, a time bomb. We want to remain positive, we hope a solutions will be found soon and the transaction limits can be lifted."
There doesn't seem to be a shortage of products for Greek consumers yet. Last week there were reports and photos of Greeks in front of empty shelves in supermarkets. In a response to an article by The Economist a counter action was set up. Through social media Greeks were encouraged to take photos of the full market shelves: a shelfie.
