Europe markets continue to rise as Greek banks re-open

London

EUROPEAN stock markets continued their upward path on Monday after the European Central Bank's (ECB) 900 million euro (S$1.34 billion) loan enabled Greek banks to open.

Meanwhile, the country's Syriza coalition government repaid 6.25 billion euros owed to the ECB and the International Monetary Fund, using the seven billion euro loan granted last week by the EU.
