Retailers said consumers were stocking up on non-perishable food while almost all other goods were seeing a huge drop in sales as cash-strapped Greeks have no money to spare in the country's fifth year of recession.
"People are terrified by the prospect of returning to the drachma and some believe it's good to fill their cupboard with food products," said Vassilis Korkidis, head of the ESEE retail federation.
"It's over the top, we must not panic. Filling the cupboard with food doesn't mean we will escape the crisis," he said.
Supermarkets said they did not see a rise in profits as people spend less money. But sales of staples like pasta have gone up.
因为担心本周日紧张的大选后希腊将退出欧元区,希腊民众纷纷奔赴银行取现,并大量囤积食物。
希腊主要银行每天有高达8亿欧元资金流出。来自零售商的消息称,因为担心供应短缺,很多人用取出的钱购买面条和罐装食物。有传言称激进的左翼领导人将在大选中获胜,激起人们对重返旧币德拉克马时代的担心。
最新公布的民调结果显示,保守的新民主党与左派政党激进左翼联盟党支持率不相上下。新民主党支持正维持着希腊经济的1300亿欧元援助计划,而激进左翼联盟党想要取消援助计划。
欧盟和国际货币基金组织已警告希腊,必须坚持援助协议,否则资金将面临中断风险。希腊的现金仅够维持几周。
