The capital controls: As I mentioned earlier, the imposition of the capital controls was followed by a significant fall in shipping receipts, partly due to a loss of confidence in the domestic banking sector, which led to a shift of shipping receipts towards foreign banks.
However, today, two years later, the Greek banking system is fully recapitalised,  measures for the relaxation of capital controls have been taken, some of which are targeted to the shipping industry, while a roadmap on the full removal of the capital controls has been published.
