Greece’s Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras invited international investment in Greece during a webcast address at the “18th Annual Capital Link forum: Invest in Greece” held in New York, saying the country has turned a corner and is exceeding its economic targets.
“Greece is being reborn. You should choose to be part of this rebirth. You can only benefit from this choice,” Tsipras said in a message delivered through a webcast, aimed at presenting the new prospects that have opened up for the Greek economy.
Annually, Capital Link holds 8-10 annual Investment Conferences in New York, London and Athens on maritime transportation and marine services, corporate social responsibility, Closed-End Funds and Global ETFs, a Greek Investor Forum in New York, and a Global Derivatives Forum on Commodities, Energy and Freight.
“I am certain that those who attempted it have not regretted it today, because during 2016, our economy regained its positive growth dynamic, outperformed its fiscal targets and implemented a series of structural reforms which boosted its competitiveness and promote a stable, investor-friendly environment,” said Tsipras.
The Greek PM presented forecasts for the Greek economy, saying it is expected to grow 2.7% in 2017 and 3.1% in 2018.
“In recognition of our efforts, the recent Eurogroup of December 5 decided to implement the short-term measures for debt relief, in line with the agreement last May, and is expected to access the markets in 2017,” he said.
“Therefore, this year I renew my invitation towards you.”
