Prime Minister's Mitsotakis address:

Ladies and gentleman,

It is with great pleasure that I address you all at the 27thAnnual Capital Link Invest in Greece Forum. A gathering that over the years has become an important bridge between Greece and the US investment community.

As 2025 draws to a close, I would like to share with you some of my thoughts on the state of our economy and its prospects for the New Year. Greece continues its progress, transforming itself into an increasingly attractive investment destination. Our country offers high growth opportunities, as manifested by market outcomes for all Greek asset classes, offers sound fiscal fundamentals, a clear geopolitical orientation and of course, the very important factor of political stability.

There are excellent investment opportunities in multiple sectors, from traditional ones such as tourism, logistics, infrastructure and agrifood, to new ones such as energy, manufacturing, life sciences and of course technology. We attract rising volumes of FDI and financial investment, confirming Greece’s spectacular turnaround from crisis to recovery and increasing prosperity.

Our close ties with the United States are going from strength to strength. Last month we had the opportunity to sign in Athens far-reaching energy agreements, relating to the distribution of US LNG, starting from Greece and going north into numerous countries of the region, up to and including Ukraine, and offshore exploration drilling in the Ionian Sea, as a partnership between Greek and US energy companies. These agreements strengthen further the already strong ties between our two countries, and cement Greece’s position as a key energy gateway and economic hub for Southeast Europe and beyond.

Based on the sound economic fundamentals and political stability we have put in place over the course of our administration, I am confident that 2026 will be another successful year, for the Greek economy as a whole, for FDI and of course, for the Greece-US bilateral ties.

I invite each and every one of you to be part of Greece’s economic success story.
