  • [01] Schools for refugee children will go ahead as planned, says government spox

    Refugee children will attend schools as planned, government spokeswoman Olga Gerovassili said on Thursday during a visit to the city of Ioannina in western Greece.

    "The program of integration of refugee children in education is organized and will be implemented," she told journalists when asked about the reactions by parents in the cities of Filippiada and Oreokastro, adding that their schooling will be held at different times because of the different needs of the children.

    Asked by parents about the lack of information on the issue on behalf of the government, Gerovassili acknowledged there's a gap in official information but added there are state bodies which can clarify the education plan. "There's a clear line between saying 'I don't know' to reacting, which changes things," she said.

    [02] Strong interest in Greek firms at 11th Greek Roadshow, Charitsis reports

    Deputy Economy Minister for NSRF issues Alexis Charitsis on Thursday was keynote speaker at the panel debate "Greek Capital Markets speeding up the real economy" held on Thursday in London, during the last day of the 11th Annual Greek Roadshow. The issues covered at the event included the prospects of the Greek economy and investment opportunities, as well as the major reforms being carried out to achieve sustainable growth.

    "From our participation in the Roadshow and the meetings we had with the Greek and international business community, we see there is intense interest in political and economic developments in Greece, as well as the emerging investment prospects. On our side, we presented in detail the Greek government's strategy on a fiscal, macroeconomic and developmental level, so as to ensure stabilisation of the economy and a return to growth," Charitsis said.

    Hellenic Exchanges CEO Socrates Lazaridis said his meetings during the two-day roadshow revealed that European investors were closely watching Greek companies and preparing to take up positions in the Greek market. "The completion of the review and developments concerning the banking sector appear to be the points that will decide their investing behaviour. There was also confirmation of an international trend for using capital markets not only for financing but for an efficient distribution of resources in an environment where there is an urgent need to reduce leverage," he said.

    Hellenic Capital Markets Commission chief Charalampos Gotsis said it was very important for investors that there was currently political, social and banking stability in Greece. "This fact improves confidence in the Greek economy and the country," he added, noting that Greek stock promised potentially generous returns.

    The three-day 2016 Roadshow, with 27 of the largest Greek listed companies taking part, was seen as a success. There were a total of 550 individual meetings between the Greek companies, some 80 investment funds and 120 analysts and portfolio managers.
