Greece has undergone a profound transformation, emerging from a decade of crisis as one of Europe’s most compelling economic success stories. The country now demonstrates strong, sustained growth, solid public finances, and increasing investor confidence, all supported by a stable political environment and a clear commitment to reform.

At the core of this recovery is a strategic blend of fiscal responsibility and forward-looking economic policy. Greece has rebuilt trust with markets and institutions, restored credit ratings to investment grade, and re-established access to financing on favorable terms. This has created a foundation of macroeconomic stability that is critical for long-term investment.

Equally important is the significant progress in improving the country’s business and investment climate. A wide range of structural reforms, simplified regulation, tax modernization, labor market flexibility, and digital transformation, have made Greece a more competitive and efficient place to do business. Investment activity is accelerating, and Greece is once again attracting serious interest from global firms and institutional investors.

The revitalization of the banking sector is another key driver. Greek banks are now healthier, better capitalized, and increasingly active in financing productive sectors of the economy. International investors have taken note, with major foreign stakes and partnerships signaling renewed confidence in the country’s financial system.

Foreign direct investment is gaining strong momentum, supported by privatizations, large-scale infrastructure projects, and targeted incentives in sectors like energy, healthcare, technology, hospitality, and innovation. Greece is now seen not only as a recovering economy, but as a gateway to Southeast Europe, with access to the broader EU single market and a highly skilled, adaptable workforce.

While challenges remain, Greece’s consistent reform trajectory, institutional credibility, and strategic positioning have turned it into a rising destination for sustainable, long-term investment. In 2025, the country offers both opportunity and resilience, qualities increasingly sought after in today’s complex global economy.

In this dynamic environment, we are here to advise and support foreign investors and local enterprises alike in achieving their business and investment goals. Our services span the full spectrum, from enabling business entry and fundraising, to conducting due diligence, valuations, market intelligence and outsourcing of functions (e.g. accounting, reporting, payroll, tax, VAT, banking, compliance, other). We also assist with corporate affairs, regulatory compliance, and alignment with local legal frameworks, ensuring that every investment is both sound and sustainable.
