"The participation of HSBC in the second Trade Finance Facility Programme with a sum reaching 134 million euros shows the renewed confidence of large international banks in the positive prospects of the Greek economy," Alternate Economy Minister Alexis Charitsis said on Wednesday.
In his address during the annual news conference held by the European Investment Bank, Charitsis said: "These positive prospects are confirmed by all macro-economic indexes -a steady growth in GDP, exports and industrial production, along with a decline in Greek bonds' yields to 12-year lows".
