Athex to reopen on Monday

The stock exchange in Athens is set to reopen next week after a closure of more than a month.

Costas Botopoulos, the head of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, told CNBC on Friday that the exchange would open on Monday August 3.

One possible caveat is that the Greek finance ministry needs to agree to the decision in writing. However, all relevant parties are working towards this, Botopoulos told CNBC.
