Greek bourse counts its huge losses on 6th anniversary of first bailout's announcement

The sixth anniversary of the grim announcement that Greece will seek an IMF bailout, made on April 23, 2010 from the remote isle of Kastellorizo by then Greek PM George Papandreou, has witnessed a loss of 28 billion euros in the Athens Stock Exchange's (ASE) capitalization since then -- roughly 40 percent of its total – with the general index down 67 percent and 66 listed companies taken off the board.
