The international press due to the performance of Greek bonds has lavished praise on the Greek economy.
What was just one year ago considered inconceivable has been attained.
The return on the Greek 10-year bond in one trading session fell to under one percent – a new record low.
The decrease in the cost of borrowing has a positive multiplier effect for Greece.
It palpably demonstrates the markets’ trust in the prospects of the economy.

It improves the profile and viability of the national debt and at the same time it opens the way for businesses to borrow more cheaply and refinance old loans.

The improvement of economic conditions and the implementation of reforms are the necessary conditions for luring investment, and long-term investors in particular.
The intention of the German giant Volkswagen to make an investment on the island of Thasos sends a positive signal and a resounding message that could trigger investment by equally important companies in global industry.
It is believed that the huge, emblematic investment in the Elliniko development project could provide the thrust for more substantial investment and an economic take-off.

Necessary reforms must be expedited and fiscal discipline should be religiously enforced.
There is no room to send a message of complacency and laxity.
The errors of the past should not be repeated and current opportunities must not be lost.
