Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras took his overseas message of “more investments for post-bailout Greece” to Manhattan on Wednesday, where he addressed US investors and representatives of investments funds in two separate events.
The erstwhile firebrand leftist politician spoke first at an event hosted by Bank of America and Merril Lynch, and then at a second event organized by Morgan Stanley.
In a subsequent “off-the-record” briefing by the Greek government, Tsipras referred to what he called the Greek economy’s brighter prospects and its recovery.
The statement conveyed to reporters was that Athens’ priority is to “create an investment-friendly environment to attract significant productive investments that will create new job spots,” while the Greek PM also cited, as an advantage, the political stability he said now characterizes the country.
