French Finance Minister Michel Sapin said on Tuesday Greece's place remained in the euro zone but that its exit would be "no drama" for the rest of Europe. In a French TV interview, Sapin, who up until Monday was calling on Athens to return to the negotiating table, brushed aside a question on whether there could still be last-gasp talks and said the real issue was this Sunday's referendum on the latest cash-for-reforms offer by Greece's creditors. "For the other countries in Europe, it would be a problem but not a drama if Greece left, it wouldn't be an economic upheaval all of a sudden," he said, calling Monday's losses on financial markets a simple correction of past gains.
