This premier event highlights Greece’s economic revival, new Investment Grade Rating, and lucrative opportunities across sectors like energy, real estate, and innovation. Join global leaders, investors, and officials for insightful discussions and unmatched networking on December 9, 2024.
Capital Link’s Annual International Forum is returning to New York City on Monday, December 9, 2024. Entitled “Greece – Speeding Ahead Post Investment Upgrade,” this prestigious event will be held in person at the Metropolitan Club. Recognized as the longest-running Investment Summit about Greece taking place abroad, the forum serves as a vital platform to strengthen business and investment ties between the United States and Greece while spotlighting Greece as a premier global investment destination. With over 1,000 delegates in attendance, the event is held in cooperation with the New York Stock Exchange, the Athens Exchange Group, and major global investment banks. Organized under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in New York, it remains a testament to the resilience of Greek economic potential, regardless of prevailing political or economic conditions.
Greece’s economic revival is underway, and the forum will focus on the country’s dynamic resurgence as a key investment hub. With its recent Investment Grade Rating upgrade, Greece now attracts long-term capital and enjoys favorable liquidity conditions. This milestone unlocks access to a wealth of opportunities for global investors, supported by the nation’s extensive efforts in digitalization and the introduction of lucrative tax incentives. The forum will showcase Greece’s diverse investment sectors, including infrastructure, hospitality, real estate, agriculture, innovation, energy, and logistics. Greece’s unique geographic position at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa enhances its appeal as a hub for emerging and mature markets, fostering innovation and talent acquisition.
The forum will shine a spotlight on the significant economic progress Greece has made while exploring its potential for further growth. Attendees will gain insights into Greece’s competitive advantages and investment opportunities across key sectors, alongside discussions about current challenges in the European and global economies. Keynote presentations will feature Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis (via webcast), prominent Greek ministers, and other high-ranking officials. A highlight of the forum is its one-on-one meetings, where investors, company leaders, and government officials can connect, offering unique networking and business development opportunities.
The forum concludes with an official dinner at the Union League Club, where the 2024 Annual Capital Link Hellenic Leadership Award will be presented to Dr. Yannis Stournaras, Governor of the Bank of Greece. Dr. Stournaras’s exemplary contributions to Greece and Europe—spanning his tenure as Minister of Finance, Governor of the Bank of Greece, and other roles—will be celebrated. His leadership in steering Greece toward economic growth and safeguarding its position in the Eurozone has been instrumental.

If you own a home in the Peloponnese or have been quietly thinking about buying one, there is some news you should be aware of: At the end of June, a 40-year concession for Kalamata International Airport "Kapetan Vasilis Konstantakopoulos" was signed by a consortium led by Fraport, together with the Kopelouzos Group's Delta Airport Investments and the Konstantakopoulos Group's PILEAS. According to the National Development Fund, which retains a 10% stake in the new company, the initial concession payment is 45 million euros, and the planned investment programme is expected to exceed 125 million euros over time.
In short: Kalamata's airport is set to roughly double its traffic by 2030, with a new terminal three times the size of the current one. For anyone with a house in the region, or an eye on one, that matters.

A new regulation regarding the calculation of ENFIA (Eniaios Phoros Idioktisias Akiniton/annual property tax) was announced by the Greek Ministry of National Economy and Finance. The purpose of this regulation appears to be to address cases where property owners were previously taxed on more square meters than their property actually has. The new regulation, which is expected to take effect in the 2027 tax year, introduces the Electronic Building ID as a key factor in determining taxable floor area.

Moving your life to a new country brings enough to think about, including the costs. For those settling permanently in Greece, there is some welcome news on that front. Bringing your household belongings and even your car can come with relief from customs duty, VAT and vehicle registration tax. The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) has recently set out clearer rules on how this works. It's important to clarify that this relief is not exactly new, but what has changed is a significant detail: a recent AADE circular (reference E.2027/2026) spells out the eligibility, the supporting documents and the procedure, with the aim of handling applications more consistently across customs offices.

For many people who own, or plan to buy, a home in Greece, the journey is part of the experience. Some fly directly to Athens, Thessaloniki, Heraklion, or Chania. Others prefer slower travel, combining trains, ferries, buses, and regional routes across Europe. Until now, however, planning a cross-border trip by train has often required patience, several booking platforms, and a healthy tolerance for uncertainty. A new proposal from the European Commission aims to make that process much simpler. The plan introduces a more unified system for booking cross-border journeys across Europe, especially train journeys involving more than one operator. The goal is clear: travellers should be able to search, compare, and book a complete journey through one platform, even when different transport companies are involved. For international buyers, second-home owners, and regular visitors to Greece, this could become an important step towards easier, more flexible travel across Europe.
