Representatives of 13 multinational companies operating in Greece met with Prime Minister Antonis C. Samaras at his office in Maximos Mansion on Monday morning and were briefed by him on the government's targets to improve infrastructure and create new jobs. The meeting, according to a dispatch from the state news agency, was also attended by Ministers of Finance Yannis Stournaras and Development Costis Hatzidakis, and Deputy Development Minister Notis Mitarakis.
Samaras asserted that the country's competitiveness had improved and that the issue of its exiting the eurozone had ended. The new investment draft bill would change the landscape, he said, and he called on the business officers to intensify their presence in Greece and introduce new products. Both sides will hold a follow-up meeting a month from now.
