Investors Examining Many Opportunities in Greece, AMCHAM Head Anastasopoulos Says
Investors are showing greater interest in Greece, the head of the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) Simos Anastasopoulos confirmed while speaking to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA). In an interview with the ANA released on Sunday, he stressed the need to restore competitiveness and confidence in the Greek economy. "It is true that investors are coming in great numbers and examining very many opportunities. There is a significant increase in interest, including from the United States," he said. The country's exit from financial assistance programmes and the recovery of balanced public finances and sovereignty created an important opportunity, he added, with interest focused on logistics, tourism, the agrifood business and IT. "Given the right conditions, the prospects are very good," Anastasopoulos said, while pointing out the difficulties in implementation and proposing a growth plan pivoting around a change in the investment environment, with milestones and a schedule for the reforms required.
