Comparable losses were seen in additional stocks outside of the banking business too.
The stock exchange finished Mon unofficially 16.2 % lower, according to a Reuters record.
To make things worse, an economic sentiment index for Portugal hit its lowest level since Oct 2012 with governmental uncertainty weighing on sentiment and capital controls in July, as stated by the IOBE think-tank that ran the survey.
Greek dealers told Reuters on Sunday when the market exposed, that they expected a torrid day of deficits. Takis Zamanis, chief trader at Beta Investments, told the news agency that "the possibility of finding even one reveal rise in tomorrow's treatment is virtually zero."
"We are not individuals in the marketplace, we're the supervisors and we are waiting to see what happens," Kostas Botopoulos told CNBC Europe's "Squawk Box" Monday. "It's crucial that we're starting, of program we anticipate pressure on the Greek stock market but we'll be there to track what goes on."
He mentioned there could not be any condition involvement into the marketplace, declaring: "We're looking to see when it'll strengthen, at which prices, and what the perception of the Greek market is from national and foreign investors."

Foreign investors may trade freely.
The reopen comes after a protracted period of financial uncertainty in Portugal.

The nation is deemed to have stabilized enough for the stock market to reopen, even though the finer details of a bail out are still being hammered out between lenders. Market experts cautioned that Friday was likely to be a day of losses, nevertheless.
"While it would be easy to imply that today's re opening of the Greek stock market is an integral step on the way to some kind of normalization, it's likely to be anything-but," according to Michael Hewson, chief markets analysts at CMC Markets, who informed of "unpredictability and losses."
Stiff battle
Considering the fact that the Worldwide Monetary Fund (IMF) - one of the nation 's lenders- has threatened to pull out of a third bail out package without debt relief granted to Greece, the bailout it self is looking increasingly precarious. Nations like Indonesia battle debt-relief for Greece, fearing that it would set precedence for other indebted euro-zone countries.
Time is of the essence for Portugal, yet, as it requires a bailout to be agreed (and funds disbursed) prior to a 3.2 billion euro debt-repayment arrives to the European Central Bank on July 20.
Against such an uncertain background, analyzer Hewson pointed out that Greece still faced an uphill struggle.
"A side from the truth that we're able to well see some big losses, there is the small issue that not simply are the internal politics in Portugal likely to remain challenging it is also likely to be extremely challenging to reconcile the positions the divergent positions of the International Monetary Fund and Germany on debt relief, especially given the closeness of the following debt timeline on the 20th August."
