The bank management during their general meeting expressed their optimism that the Greek economy and banking system have now turned a page and the season of growth is on. They also pointed out that they will emphasize on the resolution of the important issue of loans, which concerns thousands of private borrowers and businesses, while promised to proceed with funding sound households and businesses. They also referred to the challenges that the Greek economy is facing in the new era in order to acquire a stable and sustainable development.

The chairman of the Greek National Bank Mr.Giorgos Zanias has noted that Greece, the banks and major Greek companies have already gained access to international markets on satisfactory terms. The return of the economy to a growth path, in conjunction with the finalization of the processes, which undoubtedly ensures the long-term sustainability of the Greek public debt, through ancillary facilitations from the Eurozone, are the two main short term impending issues to overcome the crisis.
