[02] NBG in Top 150 index
National Bank on Thursday said it will be included in the Global Dow
-Top 150, an index including the top 150 companies around the world.
In a statement, National Bank said this development was even more
important given the very negative international situation in the credit
sector. The index is a product of cooperation between Dow Jones and
Wall Street Journal and aims at highlighting the current and future
leaders in the global corporate world. It evaluates the performance of
150 top companies for their innovation, dynamism and influence on their
fields.
National Bank said the development placed its shares among a list of
top shares around the world and attracts the attention of a wider range
of international investors.
