Shares in Commerzbank, Germany's second largest bank, slumped more than 10 percent and Deutsche Bank, the country's top bank, fell almost 8 percent. One economist at Bremer Landesbank said a Greek rejection of the euro zone's plan to provide Athens €130 billion ($178 billion) worth of aid and arrange a 50-percent write-down on its debt would be "suicide."
