Piraeus Bank is expanding its activity into infrastructure, according to Theodoros Tzouros, Executive General Manager and Chief of Corporate and Investment Banking, speaking at the Delphi Economic Forum XI.
Tzouros referred to the investment wave of recent years, with a focus on major road networks, airports and energy, and stressed that a new wave of investment is expected, centered on logistics, technology and energy infrastructure. To realize these investments, a strong banking sector, appropriate European funding instruments and committed investors are essential. Within the framework of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), Piraeus Bank has financed not only large corporate investments but also numerous small and medium-sized enterprises.
Speaking to Naftemporiki TV, Tzouras underlined that “after a prolonged period of crisis, during which Greece experienced a virtual investment standstill, the past seven years have seen a revival in investment interest.” He added that “priorities have shifted—from the green transition. The focus is now on energy security. Consequently, the next investment wave will be linked to the country’s energy autonomy. We are seeing investments in batteries, interconnections with other countries, and in the energy grid to support renewable energy sources. Logistics is also a key investment sector, as are data centers.”
According to Tzouras, “this investment wave could reach 120–150 billion euros over the next decade, provided three key conditions are met: a strong banking system—which is already in place—access to European funds, and investors with the capacity and expertise to deliver large-scale projects.”
