Speaking after a meeting with managers of Greek bank subsidiaries in Cyprus, Alpha Bank Cyprus, National Bank of Greece (Cyprus), Eurobank Cyprus Ltd and Piraeus Bank (Cyprus), he said there was no reason for concern, adding that there have been regular contacts with the subsidiaries of Greek banks in Cyprus since last December.
