A 'No' vote would not immediately trigger a Grexit, especially as the chance of new elections still remain, even in this scenario Greek president would most likely resign.

The EU is much better equipped to stem contagion today than in 2011-12, with a QE programme in place, the ESM facilities (the Secondary Market Purchase Programme in particular) and the OMT.

Limiting this risk will require further steps towards a genuine monetary, fiscal and political union.says Societe Generale.
