Another Credit Lift For Greece

Canada-based rating agency DBRS Ratings GmbH (DBRS Morningstar) upgraded Greece’ s credit rating to BB High from BB and changed the trend to Stable from Positive, believing that “Greece continues to progress economic reforms and remains fully committed to fiscal consolidation.”

“This is an extremely positive development, a recognition of the progress and the prospects of the economy” Greek Finance Minister Christos Staikouras said.

Greek Authorities Impressed the EU

The thirteenth enhanced surveillance report compiled by the European Commission concluded that Greece has taken the necessary actions to achieve its specific commitments, despite the challenging circumstances that continue to be posed by the pandemic. Furthermore, the Greek authorities delivered on specific commitments across various areas, notably as regards enhancing the efficiency of public administration, completing the administrative reorganization of the Single Pension Fund, the simplification of investment licensing in the agreed sectors, implementing wider structural reforms, particularly in digitalization, and began implementation of a Recovery
and Resilience Plan.

Top Global Banks Are Coming

The largest foreign investment banks want to get their share of the upcoming big deals of the Greek economy by opening offices in the Greek capital. Apart from JP Morgan, which already has a presence in the country, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Deutsche Bank all plan to open offices in Athens. A common strategy behind these plans is establishing a presence in a market, in which investment banking is still in its infancy, in relation to other European countries. Alexis Patelis, director of the financial office of the prime minister has foreseen the activation of foreign banks that will operate competitively with Greek banks in the field of financing the real economy.

Greek Economy Is On Superhighway

In his opening remarks during the EIB-BoG online conference: “Investment in Greece post-COVID-19″, the governor of Bank of Greece Yannis Stournaras said that Greek economy will grow faster than the expected average rate of 2% in the next decade for three specific reasons.

Firstly, due to the unusually high private sector deposits to 15% of GDP in 2021. A second reason is that Greece will receive around €30.5 billion from the NextGeneration EU fund focusing on high added value projects and another €40 billion from structural funds in the coming years. A third reason, he said, is the increased ability of the banking system to fund sustainable investment plans.
Economic activity is currently recovering from the recession caused by the pandemic but the pace of recovery is equally impressive.
