  • Story Text: Poland's Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz said on Friday (June 19) she has called a meeting with the central bank governor, as well as the foreign and finance ministers for Monday (June 22) to consider potential consequences of Greece's exit from the eurozone.
    "We know that very serious talks are underway, which may result, and hopefully they won't, but they can result in some problems and even Greece's exit from the eurozone," Kopacz told reporters in Bratislava where she is attending a conference.
    "We are not in the eurozone, but we are in the European Union, that is why I am putting together a team on Monday with the foreign minister, the finance minister but also the central bank chief. We will talk about the possible consequences of such an unfortunate event happening."
    Separately, Poland's Finance Minister Mateusz Szczurek was quoted as saying by the Polish press agency PAP from Brussels that there is a high risk that the crisis in Greece deteriorates, but said that Poland was well prepared for potential market turbulence in case of Greece's insolvency.
