Most investment groups from Europe and the US showed particular interest in developments in the banking and energy sectors, with relevant discussions dominating the panels.
The Athens Stock Exchange in London was on the radar of major international portfolios, with fund representatives receiving information on the prospects of the leading Greek listed companies, at a time when Greece appears to be maintaining strong growth momentum and becoming a success story for another year.
International investors requested information on the course of banks’ credit expansion, the sectors that will absorb new loans, strategies to strengthen commissions, organically and through acquisitions, as well as capital return policies, from dividends to buyback programs.
Energy listed companies were informed about their investment programs and whether they include acquisitions. Particular emphasis was placed on the course of net profitability for the next two years 2026-2027.
According to the statistics of the HELEX and Morgan Stanley conference, the total registrations exceeded 450 people, of which approximately 170 were investors, while on the first day alone the physical presence reached 350 people. In the meantime, 1,121 meeting requests were recorded, which led to the organization of 300 group meetings, as well as more than 650 investor contacts with the companies, both through one-on-one meetings and through larger presentations. Interest remained strong on both days of the event, with the funds participating reaching a total of 83.
In detail, on the first day, 371 participants attended, of which 113 were investors, while on the second day 267 people participated, including 79 investors. In total, 445 people participated in the roadshow, including 136 investors, a particularly high number by European standards.
Resilience
The Minister of National Economy and Finance, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, in a discussion with Euronext CEO Stephane Boujnah, as part of Morgan Stanley’s investment roadshow in London, also stated that “the acquisition of the Stock Exchange will act as a catalyst for the development of Greek businesses, both large and small, and will allow the Greek economy in many ways and on multiple levels to become stronger and more resilient as we move forward.”
Boujnah argued that “today, ten years later, all the countries that were once called PIGS are borrowing more cheaply than France and the United Kingdom.” As he stated, the integration of the Greek capital market into the Euronext single market and the entire ecosystem around it was a natural evolution in a country that produces more than it can absorb.
