Developments in Greece have far reaching implications for the European Union and the global economy. After years of recession and painful reforms, Greece can now demonstrate tangible progress and look ahead with cautious optimism. After chronic deficits, the country is expected to achieve a primary surplus for 2013 and the economy should start growing again as of 2014. The positive effects of structural reforms are becoming more obvious, the public sector is shrinking, the banking system has been recapitalized, the energy landscape in the region has been transformed, exports and tourism are up significantly. With this backdrop, Greece has again started capturing foreign investor interest. Still, there is a huge task ahead, as the government strives for renewed growth and stability. There is a robust privatization program and significant investment opportunities across all sectors. The Capital Link Greek Investor Forum will provide a comprehensive update of the latest trends, developments and outlook of the Greek economy, and of the issues of critical interest to investors, financiers and business executives as they evaluate investment opportunities in the region. Join us to discuss the ?New Era of Opportunity for Greece?.
