    [02] PM receives EIB president Werner Hoyer; discusses SME financing, growth

    Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Friday received European Investment Bank (EIB) President Werner Hoyer, who is visiting Athens. They discussed development issues and the EIB's contribution to the financing of small and medium-sized businesses in Greece.

    Specifically, they examined the activation of a second pillar of the Institute for Growth (IfG), also known as the Hellenic Investment Fund, which calls for the IfG's participation in SME share capital, as well as the transfer of knowhow concerning the absorption of funds from the Juncker programme. Finally, the meeting also raised issues linked to the creation of a state-run development bank in Greece that is underway, initiated by the current government.

    The meeting was also attended by Economy Minister George Stathakis.
