Developments in Greece have far reaching implications for the European Union and the global economy.
This Forum will provide the audience with a unique blend of informational, marketing and networking opportunities. It is an international
conference about Greece in New York City featuring government and business leaders from the United States, Greece and Europe. It
provides the point of view of the major investment and commercial banks involved with Greece, the supranational institutions, the major
investors, the Greek government and the Greek private sector companies. December mark’s the 18 year milestone of Capital Link’s
commitment to raising awareness about Greece as an investment destination, to a wider investor universe.
The conference will feature the developments and reforms in the Greek economy and the Greek government programme for the economy
and investments. Also, the latest trends in the capital markets and specific sectors with topics such as Government and Corporate Bonds,
energy, infrastructure development, real estate, tourism, banking, non-performing loans management, and global shipping.
