The aggregate capitalization of the approximately 150 companies listed on the Athens stock market amounts to just over 148 billion euros. An amount seen again in May 2008, that is, long before the economic crisis that hit Greece.
And this is happening despite the fact that the domestic capital market now “hosts” a significantly smaller number of companies than in the first decade of the 21st century.
Since the beginning of the year the total value of listed companies has “grown” by 44.8 billion euros, or at least +43%, while the corresponding change in the last three years has exceeded +125% (+82 billion euros) and in the last five years has exceeded +176% (+94 billion euros).

Currently, there are 26 listed companies, whose valuation exceeds the threshold of 1 billion euros, as a result of which they are included in the list of billionaires.
The cumulative value of the 26 is estimated at almost 123 billion euros. In fact, the first nine enjoy a valuation of more than 5 billion euros each, making up at least 57% of the total market value (85.4 out of 148.2 billion euros).
