U.S. Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt on Monday presented the U.S. perspective on the prospects of the Greek economy, echoing U.S. President Barack Obama's emphasis on democracy, innovation but also the responsibility of government's to protect equality and those "left behind" by globalisation. 

“The problem in Greece is wealth creation and not its distribution, the goal for a fair growth will come later,” Theodoros Fessas, president of the Federation of Hellenic Enterprises (SEV) said on Monday.

The Economy and Development Ministry has tabled a draft law in parliament that abolishes a special operational sticker needed by tourist accommodation units (rooms and apartments) to operate legally in Greece. The bill in its whole sees to facilitate licensing procedures of various businesses in the country.
