Th. Tzouros (Piraeus Bank): Greece is now mature and investment-attractive
Greece is increasingly seen as a stable and attractive investment opportunity, according to Thodoris Tzouros of Piraeus Bank, speaking at the Delphi Paris Forum III.
Thodoris Tzouros, Senior General Manager and Chief Corporate and Investment Banking of Piraeus Bank, emphasized that Greece is becoming a mature, stable, and attractive investment opportunity for the coming years during his speech at the Delphi Paris Forum III. He highlighted this shift in perception while participating in a discussion on the economic and business relations between France and Greece. He noted the longstanding relationships between the two countries and observed a significant enhancement in investment relations in recent years.
Tzouros pointed out that various sectors are seeing a strong investment footprint from French companies, particularly in renewable energy, infrastructure (such as highways and water management), and the financial sector. He mentioned the active role of French banks in financing the Greek shipping industry, indicating a thriving collaborative environment where investments are being actively pursued. This involvement from foreign entities reflects confidence in the Greek economy's potential and stability.
Moreover, Tzouros remarked on the increased outbound activity of Greek companies, noting that they are now also entering the French market with more dynamism. This reciprocity not only enhances bilateral trade relationships but also signifies a broader economic integration between the two nations. It suggests that both countries are gearing up for a future where mutual investments could further strengthen their economic ties, ultimately benefiting both economies.
