Invest in Greece Agency

In today’s uncertain environment, investors are looking for both stability and growth opportunities, as global developments require prudence and equilibrium. The current instability in financial markets has created a need to evaluate short- medium- and long-term macroeconomic outlooks.

The Greek economy has performed with resilience during the recent months of financial turmoil and promises to continue with above-average growth rates. Greece’s fiscal consolidation policy and structural reform programmes have, in comparison with many other EU countries, shielded Greece from the worsening world economic climate. Growth is expected to remain positive for 2009, versus negative growth in much of the Eurozone.

Against such a backdrop, Greece stands out as an outstanding destination for investment. Greece is positioned to offer businesspeople a wide variety of investment opportunities that take advantage of the country’s strategic geographic location and singular competitive advantages.
