It is without a doubt that we are witnessing challenging economic times
both at national and international level. In order for Greece to achieve
economic recovery, we definitely need growth. And that requires, among
others, foreign investments. Investments and exports are top priorities in
Government’s agenda along with a systematic effort to create an investment
and business friendly environment.
Greece presents extraordinary investment opportunities given that it
maintains its traditional comparative advantages pertaining to its unique
geo-strategic position, the availability of high-calibre and talented human capital, the ideal
climatic characteristics favourable to all sectors of economic activity-from primary production to
tourism, and of course its cultural heritage.
Besides these inherent characteristics, a friendly, stable and streamlined legal investment
framework holds a key role in attracting investment into Greece.
The Greek Law Digest serves as a valuable instrument for the understanding of our legal
environment, andconsequently for thepromotionof foreign investments. Itoffersacomprehensive
but at the same time practical review of Greece’s legal framework. In doing so, it addresses not
only the needs of legal professionals, but is a tool designed to be accessible to businesspeople as
well. Its structure in separate sections covers a wide variety of legal issues and at the same time
enables potential investors to firmly understand each topic and find the direct answers they need
when considering Greece as their next investment destination.
We welcome and strongly support this publication that contributes to attracting investments
into Greece, a key goal and one of the most important pillars in our nation’s effort to move
forward to sustainable growth.
