Michalis Chrisochoidis

Minister of Development, Competitiveness and Shipping

Attracting direct foreign investments into the country constitutes a sine qua non condition for the revival of the development in Greece today; in fact it signifies a precondition to the survival of the Greek economy. Investments will help to the restructuring of the production activity helping the economy to grow. A growing economy will create jobs for people entering the labour market for the first time, and will provide employment opportunities for people currently unemployed and looking for work.

Aristomenis M. Syngros

Executive Chairman, INVEST IN GREECE S.A.

Many tend to believe that legal issues interest only those involved in the legal profession. The same applies to investments, meaning that it is generally thought they address only economists. In reality, exactly the opposite is the case: both legal issues and investments concern all of society. Especially now, investments are, to a greater extent than ever, for the benefit of the whole of society, as they are the main tool for the improvement of the global financial environment.

Harry P. Pamboukis

Professor of Private International Law and International Transaction Law, University of Athens, Former Minister of State

Since the end of 2009, as a result of a combination of international and local factors (respectively, the world financial crisis and the country’s fiscal imbalances), the Greek economy is facing its most- severe crisis since the restoration of democracy in 1974.

As a consequence, the country has agreed to receive a rescue package from a trilateral mechanism of financial support, comprising the EU, the IMF and the ECB. To insure the funding, the country has adopted a restrictive income policy and a drastic limitation of public expenses in order to bring its deficit under control.
