Greece

An attractive investment destination

Greece is now firmly positioned on the international economic map, consistently establishing itself as an attractive investment destination and a reliable partner. In an extremely competitive economic environment and amidst increasing global challenges, the country manages to maintain its status as a strong regional hub for development.

Despite prolonged uncertainty due to successive waves of the pandemic worldwide, the Greek economy demonstrates remarkable resilience, adaptability, flexibility, and dynamism.

The international investment community’s perception of the country is steadily improving, and global enterprises recognize significant advantages in Greece, such as the quality and skills of its human capital, particularly in knowledge-intensive sectors with high added value, such as technology, innovation, and energy.

The implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, along with the establishment of new digital structures in the Greek public sector, and a focus on green sustainable development, position the country even more prominently on the international investment map.

Greece’s comparative advantages are driving a significant shift towards a more outward-looking, competitive, and environmentally friendly production model. With a more efficient and digitized state and a growth-oriented tax system, the country is poised for success.

In this national endeavor, Growthfund plays a crucial role as an ambassador for Greece. Through its portfolio of subsidiaries and investments, it contributes to enhancing the country’s credibility within the international investment community.

Active Shareholder & Responsible Investor

As an active shareholder and responsible investor, Growthfund fosters the transformation of its portfolio companies, strengthens their sustainability, and upgrades their governance model. Thus, it creates the development conditions for a people-, environment- and economy-centered production model.

For the third consecutive year, the assessment tool by Global SWF recorded the progress of state investment entities in GSR: Governance, Sustainability, and Resilience. Greece, through Growthfund and based on other available published data, ranked 12th among 200 countries, continuing its upward trajectory compared to previous years – 28th in 2022 and 14th in 2023. Despite the high standards set in this year’s questionnaire, Growthfund maintained a score of 80%, almost 20 points above the global average (61%), corresponding to the 16th position among 200 Investment Funds worldwide for 2024.
