ATHENS, July 31 (Reuters) - The volatility limit at Greece's 
stock exchange will be reduced to 20 percent from the current 30 
percent when the bourse reopens on Monday following a five-week 
shutdown caused by capital controls, the exchange said on 
Friday. 
    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.
