Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis had over 17 bilateral meetings with politicians and senior business players at the 50th World Economic Forum in Davos this week, as well as taking part in two events on the official program and giving interviews to Bloomberg and Politico, in a bid to signal to the international business community that the climate in Greece, after 10 years of crisis, has changed, ANA reports.
Accompanied by his chief economic advisor Alexis Patelis, the prime minister met Microsoft President Brad Smith, Google’s head of Europe, the Middle East and Africa Matt Brittin, ENEL CEO Francesco Starace, Bloomberg Chairman Peter T. Grauer, Visa Europe CEO Charlotte Hogg, WEF founder and executive president Davis Klaus Schwab, Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) governor Tadashi Maeda and Heineken’s Chief Financial Officer Laurence Debroux.
Sources at the premier’s office said the meetings showed that major foreign investors see Greece in a different light after the July 7 elections and are encouraged by a new government that is lowering taxes, reducing bureaucracy and making real changes, in addition to the political stability that is anything but given in other European countries.
