Speaking to Greek Reporter from New York City, Notis Mitarakis said he has a tough job as Greece’s deputy Minister of Development and Competitiveness but he hopes to reverse the negative image of the country and bring in foreign investments.
Participating at the 3rd annual Concordia Summit in which he was a panelist the Greek minister stressed that Greece may be facing serious problems but it is still a great place for investments.
Talking on the strengths of the crisis-hit Greece he said that the selling points of his presentation to potential investors in the US include the country’s geopolitical position, the new fast-track law which allows investors to set up corporations faster, and another new law which allows foreigners who invest in real estate to obtain resident permits.
