The Greek Economy: Investments, the banking sector and market access

“Under the Auspices of H.E. the President of the Hellenic Republic Mr. Prokopios Pavlopoulos”


Conference

The preparation of the 3rd International Conference organized by the Economic Chamber of Greece came at a time that Greece faced a series of challenges that needed to be surpassed in order to be led to economic growth. In the meanwhile, Europe was facing the challenge of a significant exit, which threatened to unfold surprising developments for the European Union. Sixty-nine years post the Schuman Declaration, which was intended to ensure unity in Europe, the Europe Day of 2019 arrived with a large question mark for the future of the European Union.

During the conference, our distinguished speakers provided valuable insights on the steps the country needed to take moving forward. How did the implementation of reforms affect market access? What was the role of the banking system in economic growth? How crucial were investments in the recovery process? Was the European Union destined for further integration or did Euroscepticism prevail?

All the above mentioned questions were asked in a conference entitled «The Greek Economy: Investments, the banking sector and market access», which took place on Europe Day,  Thursday, May 9th 2019, at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC).
