Ο Υπουργός Οικονομικών κ. Χρήστος Σταϊκούρας Κεντρικός Ομιλητής στο 2nd NPL SUMMIT
Η αγορά διαχείρισης των κόκκινων δανείων και ανοιγμάτων στην Ελλάδα έχει ήδη περάσει στην φάση της ωρίμανσης της. Η μεγαλύτερη πρόκληση της ελληνικής οικονομίας είναι πώς η διαχείριση των κόκκινων δανείων και ανοιγμάτων μπορεί να μετατραπεί σε εφαλτήριο οικονομικής ανάπτυξης και δημιουργίας νέων θέσεων εργασίας.

The five main bidders in the first stage of the previous tender for Public Power Corporation’s four lignite plants at Meliti and Megalopoli threw their hats into the ring again on Friday, in addition to another company from China.
According to a formal statement by PPC, the six bidders who expressed an interest up to the deadline yesterday are the following: the consortium of Beijing Guohua Power Company Ltd and Damco Energy SA, China Western Power Industrial Co Ltd, the consortium of Sev.en Energy AG and Indoverse (Czech) Coal Investments Ltd, GEK Terna SA, ElvalHalcor SA, and the Mytilineos Group.
Although PPC’s management expressed satisfaction and the expectation “that with this participation and interest there will be a substantial tender process with a positive outcome for the divestment procedure,” the entire effort will in fact depend on the negotiations for the final text of the sale and purchase agreement (SPA). Talks on the SPA will begin as soon as the candidate investors receive the first draft from PPC, which is expected next week.
In terms of investment interest, the new tender differs from the previous one – which failed in 2018 – due to the participation of China Western Power; its arrival is the fruit of personal efforts by PPC head Manolis Panagiotakis, who traveled to China for that purpose a few days ago.
Still, Panagiotakis’s expectations that another Chinese company would participate, namely CMEC, which had previously expressed an interest in the existing Meliti plant and had signed a memorandum of cooperation with PPC, did not materialize. His hopes that companies from the US and Russia would also enter the bidding were also dashed.
There is also a degree of significance in the interest expressed by the other Chinese bidder, Beijing Guohua Power – with the Copelouzos Group (Damco Energy) – which had appeared in the previous tender but withdrew from the binding offers stage.
Without exception, all candidate investors appear reserved about the tender, as their final position will depend on the terms of the SPA as well as the new valuation of the units.
National Bank expects to collect about 400 million euros from the upcoming sale of a 32.6 percent stake in NBG Pangaea Real Estate Investment Company.
The transaction between National and Invel, which is currently the biggest shareholder in the property investment company, is expected to be completed by the end of the month, after a three-month extension was granted at the start of the year.
According to the existing agreement between the two sides, the price is predetermined and is based on the average level of Pangaea’s stock price during the last quarter of 2018, or about 4.9 euros per share.
Invel is expected to exercise its right to acquire NBG’s stake in the REIC, with the active participation of Invel’s shareholders – i.e. US investment group Castlelake and British investment fund Coller Capital.
This way they will further strengthen their holding in Greece’s leading property investment corporation after indirectly acquiring 49 percent of the Athens-listed company by obtaining a stake in Invel a year ago.
Once the transaction is completed, Invel will control 98 percent of Pangaea’s share capital, which according to bourse rules will require an opening-up process to new shareholders.
This is why the company’s management is preparing a 500-million-euro share capital increase.
Cosco-owned Piraeus Europe Asia Rail Logistics (PEARL), Goldair, and the consortiums of Damco and the FDL Group, and Italian-owned Trainose and Sarmed have expressed interest in the concession of the 1.45-square kilometer plot in the Thriasio area by Hellenic Railways Organization (OSE) for the development of a new transit center.
This is the tender for the "Thriasio II" center, which is next to the 0.6 sq.km. "Thriasio I" plot, conceded to the ETBA VIPE - Goldair consortium.
March 31 is the deadline Brussels has set for the concession of the plot and if that is missed Greece will have to return 235 million euros of EU subsidies for the center’s development.
The Athens Roadmap for Inclusive Growth in Cities was launched on Monday in the Greek capital, which is hosting the fourth meeting of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) Champion Mayors for Inclusive Growth Initiative.
During an event held at City Hall, OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria and Athens Mayor Giorgos Kaminis presented the document which “charters the way forward on how cities can leverage innovation, in particular, public sector-related, technological and social innovation, in order to bolster their inclusive growth agendas,” according to an OECD press release.
More than 30 mayors and municipal representatives from all over the world participated in the meeting, supporting the roadmap, which is the most detailed action plan adopted since the initiative's launch in 2016, Gurria said.
“The roadmap is a guide for cities and their leaders on how to seize innovation as a tool for more inclusive growth... Champion Mayors commit to leverage the full potential of innovation to ensure that we progress together as a society,” he emphasized, addressing the event.
Noting that currently half of the world's population lives in urban centers, Gurria explained that starting from the level of cities the target is to continue to exchange views and agree on policies to tackle together rising inequalities worldwide.
“We must create cities and societies sustainable for all citizens... In this effort, cities should hold a leading role... We seek growth for all, growth that will leave no one behind,” Kaminis said on his part.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the mayors will join ministers at the OECD's regional development ministerial meeting at the Athens Concert Hall to discuss common challenges such as globalization, digitalization, climate change and demographic issues, as well as proposed policies for their management under the theme “Megatrends: Building better futures for regions, cities and rural areas.”
European Commissioner for Regional Policy Corina Cretu represents the EU in the three-day meetings in Athens.
“In a changing world, faced with economic, social and demographic challenges, I remain convinced that Cohesion Policy is one of the best tools the EU has to remain ahead of the curve. It will help us achieve the transition towards a fairer, more sustainable society in Greece and in Europe,” she said, according to an e-mailed press statement from her office. [Xinhua]
Greece will invite investors to submit expressions of interest for the commercial operations of its gas utility DEPA on April 8, DEPA’s chief executive officer Dimitrios Tzortzis told reporters on Tuesday.
Earlier this month Greece passed legislation to split Public Gas Corporation (DEPA) into two companies, one covering its wholesale and retail gas supply business and the other its distribution network and international activities.
Under its latest agreement with the country’s creditors, Athens has agreed to sell a 50.1 percent stake in DEPA’s commercial operations.
Speaking on the sidelines of an energy conference in Athens, Tzortzis also told reporters there was interest from Italy, France and Spain.
