[01] Bank of Greece sets two preconditions for return to recovery
Bank of Greece governor Yannis Stournaras set two preconditions for the
return of the economy to normality and then to recovery in the bank's
interim report on monetary policy submitted to Parliament on Friday.
The first precondition is the implementation of an agreement reached
between the Greek government and the country's partners. The central
banker called on the government to take all necessary initiatives, beyond
the provisions of the agreement, to improve economic and investment
climate by exploiting the positive momentum created from attracting
private capital for the recapitalization of systemic banks.
A second precondition is the support of the Greek Parliament to
an adjustment effort and the rescue of the Greek economy. "It is
self-evident that the Parliament must contribute to the completion
of the legislative work to implement the agreement, since the biggest
part of adjustment has been achieved since 2010 and only a small part
remains to be done," the central banker said.
[02] Dep. FM Mardas underlines perspectives for Koreans to invest
in Greece
Deputy Foreign Minister Dimitris Mardas on Friday called on Korean
enterpreneurs to invest in Greece.
Mardas was speaking at the 2015 Greek-Korean business forum held at the
Evgenidio Institute in Athens. Addressing Korean businessmen, Mardas
underlined that Greece has made structural reforms, a fact that makes it
very attractive to foreign investments. The shipping sector, said Mardas,
constitutes a privileged field for cooperation. Indicative of the sector's
dynamic is that 25 percent of the total orders for shipbuilding is made
by Greek shipowners.
He also focused on the infrastructure sector (ports, airports, marinas)
where the Koreans can also invest.
