Actually, the financial markets may be totally overrated, and likewise the problems that Greece can generate.
German banks are pleading companies to take loans - the loan demand is so small. Large corporations can get capital altogether without banks, and the medium-sized companies (SMEs) have spent years preparing for hard times and have enough liquidity.
The truly small businesses get loans through German government-sponsored loans (KfW) and few other loans.
In short: There would probably be more psychological than financial problems for the economy if banks would blow up tomorrow.
