    Greek Shipping a Global Force
    Greece, a country of about 11 million people, controls by far the biggest share -nearly 20%- of the world's merchant fleet by tonnage and has a long tradition as a maritime nation. Greek shipowners who compete on a global scale have a track record as astute operators and asset traders. Shipping is a significant contributor to the Greek economy mainly through the foreign currency inflows.

    Greek shipping has now successfully become a key participant in the U.S. capital markets. Since 2005, the majority of U.S. listings in shipping have been by Greek owned or managed shipping companies. Especially since this year, shipping has become a mainstream investment for American portfolios with thousands of institutional and individual shareholders.

    Companies presenting at the Forum:
    The Forum includes presentations by the country's top government officials for economic policy and investments, the Chairman of the Athens Exchange, as well as corporate leaders, including those of Hellenic Telecommunications (NYSE:OTE), Hellenic Petroleum, OPAP, Postal Savings Bank, Bank of Attica, Proton Bank, ALAPIS, Lamda Development and many others.
