Noyer, who is also governor of the French central bank, said that the French banks had drastically cut their exposure to the country in recent years.

"It (Grexit) is not a risk that I consider to be important for the French banking sector now," Noyer told a news conference.

"It's above all a risk for Greece," he said, adding that Greece's biggest problem was reviving growth as no one wanted to keep the country dependent on foreign assistance.
