Attracting investment interest for Greek stocks, promoting capital increases by listed enterprises and taking advantage of X-NET’s network in order to gradually become the best pan-European information and transaction order network, are the three priorities for Hellenic Exchanges this year, Socrates Lazaridis
(pictured), the president of the Athens Stock Exchange, said on Monday.
During an address at a New Year’s ceremony, Ioannis Georganas, Hellenic Exchange’s chief executive, said he expected the Greek economy to begin recovering by the end of 2011 after a very difficult first half of the year, more difficult than 2010.
He also said the economic recovery would be based on an improved course of Greek shipping and tourism, investments made through the 4th Community Support Framework programme and higher exports.
