Eurobank Equities

The Greek banking sector will see this and next year a credit expansion of 4% per annum, per Eurobank Equities, ensuring resilience in interest income and profitability for Greek banks.

This is ahead of the imminent reduction of interest rates by the ECB, expected to start from the second quarter of this year.

The next couple of weeks will be decisive for the successful completion of the 20-year extension of the Athens International Airport concession contract, as consultations with the European Union's competition authorities have entered a critical stage, sources from the government and the parties involved have told Kathimerini.
