If we try to analyze GDP's components, the ones preventing a larger GDP decrease were Gross Capital Formation and Imports (which continued to slide).

One has to remark on the household final consumption's accelerating slide and on the continued slump in exports, a slump that started since the imposition of capital controls.

To wrap this up, Greek GDP continues its stay in no man's land with the tax-raising policy picked by the government not bearing much fruit and seemingly pushing an increasing part of the economy in the grey area.
