Even under the strain of a lockdown, Greece contin

Even under the strain of a lockdown, Greece continues to demonstrate how committed it is to reforms - and the European Commission is taking notice. The 8th enhanced surveillance report for Greece indicated that “Greece has taken the necessary actions to achieve its due specific commitments.” In particular, efforts towards economic reform have been noticed not only by the Commission, but also by international markets and credit rating agencies, and the Eurogroup will likely approve €767 million in debt relief measures by the end of November.

Greece continues to prove it is committed to stability throughout the Mediterranean, inking a “strategic partnership” with the UAE during PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ visit last week in the face of ongoing tensions with Turkey. This agreement is based on political, economic, and cultural cooperation, building upon an existing relationship between the two countries, and underlining objectives to amplify bilateral cooperation within the scope of energy, defence, digital governance, food and agriculture, and investment and trade, among other fields.

NextGenerationEU, the European Union’s pandemic

NextGenerationEU, the European Union’s pandemic recovery fund, could be mark a new dawn for Greece. The government plans to leverage the €32 billion in grants and loans to finance hugely important infrastructural and strategic projects including highways, energy efficiency projects, justice system reforms, and the full digitisation of the country’s archaic tax service. From this, €12.5 billion in loans targetting business credits could translate into investments worth around €25 billion as long 30% of projects are jointly financed by commercial banks.

With Greece now more than two weeks into its secon

With Greece now more than two weeks into its second country-wide lockdown, many are trying to find ways to stay busy while also staying safe. Fortunately, several of the country’s influencers are trying to help: take Greek food titan Akis Petrezikis, who has been posting daily live videos from his kitchen, sharing recipes with the hashtag #cookingisallyouneed.

Then there is Aris Katsigiannis, a director and photographer who produced Dreams Can’t be Quarantined, an inspirational quarantine-era video that has made its rounds on the festival circuit and encourages people to stay positive. It’s a great sign of how the Greek community has come together to get through a difficult time.

After years of planning, Athens is ready to fully

After years of planning, Athens is ready to fully transform the abandoned waterfront at Elefsina, not only completely overhauling the area’s architecture, but also its infrastructure. The port will soon be home to the Metropolitan Seaplane Port of Attica, the largest in Europe and among the biggest in the world. It will service more than 88 destinations, both remote and popular, throughout the islands and mainland, giving travelers unprecedented access to destinations that weren’t options previously.

Another benefit of this new construction? Thanks to the addition of a flexible cultural space, around 2,000 new jobs will be created, and the space’s versatility will draw in visitors from around the city, so it will certainly attract new tourism investments along the waterfront.

8 companies, both from within Greece and abroad, have demonstrated a strong interest in Greece’s growing RES sector, submitting bids in the tender process for the 50MW Megalopolis photovoltaic park, worth around €10 million. Megalopolis is an area known for its coal production, but this comes as part of PPC Renewables’ effort to convert the area and delignitise the country. This new project would greatly help the country in moving towards this goal.

International interest in Greece continues to grow

International interest in Greece continues to grow: French multinational Nexans, a cable and optical fibre industry company, is looking into the acquisition of Hellenic Cables, a subsidiary of Cenergy Holdings SA, in yet another transaction sliding in under the wire for 2020. The sale will involve a cash payment and a transfer of Nexans' shares to Cenergy, and it could go through for close to €800 million before the end of December.
