As Greek listed companies have already announced their nine-month results, interest is now turned on their investments plans for 2025.

 

During the investment conference in London by the Athens stock exchange and Morgan Stanley, Greek companies mainly had pointed to acquisitions that they have already planned this year, but also to their expansion in new markets.

 

Also, they have focused on the disclosure of their investment programs, which included the construction of new factories and the creation of new products.

 

At the same time, foreign funds had been asked how they will deal with the imposition of tariffs by the Trump administration, while foreigners will want to know how they will respond to the raw materials market. Foreign funds showed particular interest in companies in the energy sector, especially in the country's transition to a lower-emissions mix.

 

Also, leading international funds requested  information on the course of reforms (especially in the judicial system), but also on the progress of investments within the framework of the Recovery Fund. 90% of the capitalization of the Stock Exchange, which currently represents a market value of 85 billion euros, is represented by the presidents and CEOs of the 38 listed companies who have been in London.
