Greece's newly designated finance minister, Vassilis Rapanos, has quit less than a week after being appointed.
His resignation was confirmed by the office of new Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras.
No reason was given for the move. However, Mr Rapanos has been in hospital since last week receiving treatment for stomach pains.
Mr Samaras is himself recovering from eye surgery which has caused him to miss this week's EU summit.
Mr Rapanos, who is chairman of the National Bank of Greece, was named finance minister last week as part of Greece's new three-party coalition government.
However, he was rushed to hospital last Friday before he could be sworn in and has been in hospital ever since.
