Greek referendum: six questions about what happens next
The referendum on whether to accept the terms of Greece's creditors is under way. What happens in the event of a yes, no or 'light no' vote?
Alexis Tsipras, the Greek prime minister, has pledged that regardless of the result he will return to the negotiating table with creditors after the referendum. The EU, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund - the lenders that have propped up the country since mid-2010 - have insisted that a no vote will mean the end of negotiations. That, in turn, would mean the end of financial support for Athens, which has already defaulted on a a1.6bn loan instalment to the IMF and faces a a3bn payment to the ECB on 20 July. Tsipras has said a cash-for-reform deal could be reached "within 48 hours" - just in time to see banks reopen on Tuesday, the deadline announced by the government.
