The Athens Stock Exchange experienced a sharp decline today, with stock prices plummeting, dragging the market down to the 1,340-point level.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis continues his three-day official working visit to London. On Monday, he will have the opportunity to meet leading investors, and present the investment opportunities in Greece, at the conference organised by the Athens Stock Exchange and Morgan Stanley.

With any profit-taking moves offset by demand, as buying interest from foreign capital also remains strong, the Athens Stock Exchange is moving to nine-year highs, with YTD gains for Greek stocks now hovering around 20 billion euros and the General Index to be at the top of the world's returns, recording a 35% increase this year.
