Two major industrial groups listed on reece's Athens Exchange are said
to be on the verge of deciding to move their headquarters abroad in
2016, Kathimerini understands.
According to sources, their main
shareholders believe that the government is being too slow in its effort
to change the economic climate and personal discussions with cabinet
members have suggested that entrepreneurship in Greece is not a priority
for the country’s administration.
One of the two entrepreneurs close
to moving abroad told Kathimerini that "the imposition of the capital
controls on June 28 was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Especially for exporting companies like us, it cut our oxygen supply.
"We
view this situation like the collapse of Lehman Brothers, when we
suddenly found ourselves in a void on international level, with dozens
of orders cancelled and exposed with bank checks.”
The examples of
the companies that have already left Greece (FAGE, Coca-Cola HBC and
Viohalco) are paving the way reports Kathimerini.
