ATHENS, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Greek private sector bank
deposits dropped in January after a rise in the previous month,
central bank data showed on Tuesday.
Business and household bank deposits decreased to 184.142
billion euros ($195.54 billion) at the end of January from
188.742 billion in December, Bank of Greece data showed.
Greek banks have seen deposit inflows increase since the
beginning of last year. Lockdowns to stem the spread of the
COVID-19 pandemic put a dent in consumer spending but the
reopening of the economy led to a strong rebound.
