International ratings firms appear exuberant over the projected impact of a July 7 general election in Greece, with pro-reform and pro-market New Democracy (ND) party coming off two successive election victories in late May and early June 2019, and with the latest opinion polls showing it has a commanding lead that could translate into a majority government.

A more-or-less two-week "rally" at the Athens Stock Exchange (ATHEX) continued on Monday, hours before snap elections in the country will officially be declared for July 7.

The Athens Exchange and the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) in cooperation with Enterprise Greece are holding the 7th Greek Investment Forum, "Greece: Back on the Path to Growth," on June 19 and an investment roadshow on June 19-20 at the Peninsula Hotel in New York.
