Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Greece is consolidating its role as a key energy gateway for Southeastern Europe, highlighting the country’s economic progress and strengthening ties with the US in a recorded message to an investment forum in New York.
In a video message on Monday, Mitsotakis addressed the 27th Annual Capital Link Invest in Greece Forum, held in Manhattan, describing the event as an important bridge between Greece and the US investment community.
As 2025 draws to a close, he said, Greece continues to make progress and is becoming an increasingly attractive investment destination.
He said the country offers high-growth opportunities, citing strong market performance across Greek asset classes, sound fiscal fundamentals, a clear geopolitical orientation, and political stability.
Mitsotakis pointed to significant investment opportunities across a wide range of sectors, including tourism, infrastructure, logistics and agribusiness, as well as energy, manufacturing, life sciences and technology.
The prime minister said Greece is attracting growing volumes of foreign direct and financial investment, reflecting what he described as the country’s dramatic shift from crisis to recovery and rising prosperity.
He also emphasized closer Greece-US relations, noting the signing of extensive energy agreements last month in Athens.
These include the distribution of US liquefied natural gas through Greece to countries across the region as far as Ukraine, as well as offshore exploration drilling in the Ionian Sea involving Greek and American energy companies.
Such agreements, he said, further strengthen bilateral ties and reinforce Greece’s position as a major energy gateway and economic hub for Southeastern Europe and beyond.
