Poland ready to intervene if Greek referendum hurts zloty - Finance Minister

Poland's central bank and Finance Ministry are ready to intervene if the result of Sunday's referendum in Greece causes an excessive weakening of the zloty currency, Finance Minister Mateusz Szczurek was quoted as saying on Saturday.

"We have large foreign exchange reserves, both on the side of the government as well as of the central bank," Szczurek was quoted as saying by state news agency PAP.

"So, if the zloty was to excessively weaken, then we, both me and governor (Marek) Belka, are ready to intervene, if there is a need," he said.
