(Stock exchange corrects in para 3 to say that volatility
limits would stay at 30 pct (not be cut to 20 pct))
ATHENS, July 31 (Reuters) - Foreign investors will not face
restrictions on operations when trade resumes at Greece's stock
exchange on Monday following a five-week shutdown caused by
capital controls, a stock exchange spokeswoman said.
The Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) .ATG EXCr.AT has been
shut since June 29, when the government closed banks and imposed
strict limits on withdrawals and foreign transfers to prevent a
run on deposits by savers and companies.
The spokeswoman said volatility limits would remain
unchanged at 30 percent and that all shares would be traded,
including banking stocks.
