jun 30, 2015 - Greek government defaults on its 1.6 bn euro ($234.6bn AUD) payment to the IMF

Description:

The Greek government misses its 1.6 billion euro ($1.7 billion) payment to the IMF when its bailout expires on June 30, making it the first developed country to effectively default to the Fund. Negotiations between the Syriza leadership and its official creditors fell apart days before, when Prime Minister Tsipras proposed a referendum on the EU proposals. To stem capital flight, Tsipras had previously announced emergency capital controls, limiting bank withdrawals to 60 euros ($67) per day and calling a bank holiday after the ECB capped its support.

Both sides called it a delay, not an official default.
