ND leader sets task for business

Industrialists on Tuesday asked opposition leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis for bold interventions in the economic sector, and the New Democracy leader responded at the general meeting of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV), committing himself to leading the country to growth boosted by investments.

Taxes, corruption hamper business

High tax rates and the combination of corruption with a lack of transparency top the list of the most important obstacles to entrepreneurship in Greece, according to a survey conducted by MRB for the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV). The corruption and insufficient transparency combo has risen from the fifth most significant obstacle last year to the second in 2018.

Reforms can boost the field for startups

In the next five years Greece could become a field of growth for 2,100 startups, which could lead to the creation of 20,000 new jobs and reverse brain drain, according to the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV), provided that the country implements specific reform policies and introduces incentives for the development of ecosystems for new enterprises.

The Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV) has again warned that overtaxation could keep the country's growth rates at subdued levels, while the obstacles the government is putting in the way of big investment projects such as the Halkidiki gold mines (Eldorado Gold) and the development of the former airport at Elliniko (Lamda Development) serve as a deterrent to other would-be investors.
