13:15 GREECE AND THE INTERNATIONAL MONEY MARKETS: WHAT LIES AHEAD? Three months after the completion of the bailout program, Greece seems to not be ready for the global money mar-

kets. What are the reasons for this, and when is the country expected to enter the markets and finance its economy efficiently? Greece is reported to have significantly improved its Public Financial Management but recognition and confidence are still limited. How can Greece continue to improve its finances and gain wider recognition in the global money markets?

14:15 EXPLORING THE APPROPRIATE GROWTH PLAN FOR GREECE Greece’s ranking remains low in most competitiveness indexes. What are the main reasons for this? Does the improve-

ment of competitiveness depend only on state reforms, or is it an issue of persistent attitudes in both the public and private sectors?

There is a lot of talk about the absence of a comprehensive growth strategy for the country. What should the economy’s priorities be in light of the latest disruptive changes? What are the most promising sectors in which Greece has potential to grow fast?

austerity. Almost all multinationals have a presence in Greece and upcoming reforms’ acceleration would cre-ate opportunities for growth and investment. As the necessary framework improves, opening new avenues of collaboration, country’s advantages become more apparent in a number of key areas, including clinical trials, manufacturing, research and development, Public Private Partnerships, and a vast array of options in wellness, health education and services.
