Greece is also considered a point of political and economic stability in the area. As the only European Union (EU) member in the Balkan region and part of the Euro zone which commences currency trading in January 2002, significant headway has been made in readjusting the country to suit the demands of EU membership, with business confidence subsequently running high.

Economy Of Greece - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia In 2003 the Greek economy grew at an estimated rate of 4.7, the fastest in the EU . The food industry is one of the most profitable and fastestgrowing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Greece
Extractions: The Greek economy is growing fast after the implementation of stabilization policies in recent years. Greece remains a net importer of industrial and capital goods, foodstuffs, and petroleum . Leading exports are manufactured goods, food and beverages, petroleum products, cement , chemicals, and pharmaceuticals edit The development of the modern Greek economy began in the late and early centuries with the adoption of social and industrial legislation and protective tariffs and the creation of the first industrial enterprises. Industry at the turn of the century consisted primarily of food processing, shipbuilding, and the manufacture of textiles and simple consumer products. Greece achieved high rates of growth in the late and early due to large foreign investments. In the mid- , Greece suffered declines in its GDP growth rate, ratio of investment to GDP, and productivity, and real labor costs and oil prices rose. In , protective barriers were removed when Greece joined the European Community . The government pursued expansionary policies, which fueled inflation and caused

Extractions: ECONOMY The government succeeded in 2000 in reducing budget deficits and inflation, allowing Greece to join the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) on January 1, 2001. Greece, along with 11 out of its 14 European Union (EU) partners, adopted the euro as its new common currency in January 2002. The euro was expected to boost trade, help dismantle the last remaining market barriers within the EU, and stimulate production. However, a more relaxed fiscal policy since 2002 and higher expenditures associated with the preparation of the Athens 2004 Olympics resulted in higher deficits and debt in 2003 and 2004. The government deficit in 2004 is estimated to have reached 5.3 percent of GDP and the debt 112 percent of GDP. The new administration has pledged to reduce the government debt to 2.8 percent of GDP in 2005 and to tighten fiscal finances. The Greek economy is expected to grow by 3.7 percent in 2004 and continue relatively higher growth rates in 2005 and beyond. High growth rates resulted in a drop in unemployment levels but it is still high among younger persons. Foreign investment also has dropped, and efforts to revive it have been only partially successful. Greek investment in Southeast Europe has increased. European Union (EU) Membership Greece has realigned its economy as part of an extended transition to full EU membership that began in 1981. Greece last assumed the rotating EU presidency in the first half of 2003. Greek businesses continue to adjust to competition from EU firms, and the government has liberalized its economic and commercial regulations and practices.

(Ancient Economic History) The animal style in South Russia and China A history of the ancient world, Find Other Presidential Addresses Find by Year In these days of unsettled and chaotic economic conditions, of an acute economic crisis which prevails over all the civilized world, when all sorts of remedies are suggested for healing the wounds, and among them, under the label of the last word in economic science, some age-old and many times tried devices, it is perhaps not inappropriate for a student of ancient economic history to recall to mind the remote past of Greece and Rome where similar crises were not infrequent and where many devices were tried in the hope of solving them. It is not my intention to attempt to unroll the whole history of the economic evolution of the Ancient world. However attractive such a program might be, the subject is so vast and so complicated that its treatment in a short hour would be without doubt too general and vague to be of any use. Let me choose for my demonstration a short but momentous period in the history of the Ancient world, a period little known, which formed the subject of my special study for many years. I refer to the period after the conquest of the East by Alexander and before the final incorporation of Greece and the Hellenized Eastern world into the Roman Empire. Its traditional name, however inadequate, is "The Hellenistic Period".
Greece By the 1990s receipts from tourism amounted to onequarter of the trade deficit.Although the Greek economy has been traditionally based on free enterprise, http://www.omhros.gr/Kat/History/Mod/El/Greece.htm
Extractions: Hellas, from Agamemnon to the 21st Century Despite a rapid rate of growth in the post-World War II period, Greece's economy is one of the least developed in the European Union (EU). Natural resources are limited, industrialization has been achieved only partially, and there are chronic problems with the balance of payments. Shipping, tourism, and, decreasingly, migrant remittances are the mainstays of the economy. By the 1990s receipts from tourism amounted to one-quarter of the trade deficit. Although the Greek economy has been traditionally based on free enterprise, many sectors of the economy have come under direct or, through the banks, indirect government control top Greece has few natural resources. Only in the case of nonferrous metals are there substantial deposits. Of these the most important is bauxite, reserves of which amount to more than 650 million metric tons. Fossil fuels, with the exception of lignite of low calorific value, are in short supply. There are no deposits of bituminous coal, and oil production, based on the Prinos field near the island of Thasos, is very limited. The complex dispute between Greece and Turkey that developed in the 1970s over the delineation of the two countries' respective continental shelvesand hence the right to such minerals, in particular oil, as may exist under the Aegean seabedshows no sign of being resolved.
OECD Observer: The Global Business The extent of intraindustry trade is typically much higher for manufactured At the same time, global trade may follow trends in the world economy more http://www.oecdobserver.org/news/fullstory.php/aid/850/The_global_business_.html
Extractions: Globalisation has made the world a smaller place and has changed the way of doing business in OECD countries. But did you know that a significant part of global integration reflects trade within transnational firms and industries? With globalisation, not only are businesses exporting their goods worldwide, they are also producing them worldwide, often through complex production chains across several countries. Indeed, trade among different parts of global enterprises, such as components of a final product being manufactured by affiliates in several countries, has increased significantly since the late 1980s. Such global companies or industries can be found in a range of sectors, like designer fashion, automotive components, computers and mobile phones. International trade within single firms accounts for around one-third of goods exports from both Japan and the United States, and a similar proportion of all US goods imports and one-quarter of all Japanese goods imports. Few data are available for other countries, but given the increasing importance of foreign direct investment, it is likely that the importance of this intra-firm trade has increased at the global level.
Extractions: but the economic and social situation is grim By Fred Weston Yesterday the whole of Greece was one big party. Their national football team, the underdog, the outsider, that was given an 80 to 1 chance of winning, achieved what to many must have seemed a miracle, victory in the final of the European Cup! They were the underdogs that were supposed to be knocked out early on. This time however the big-timers, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, England had all gone. Ordinary working class Greek workers and youth do indeed need something to cheer about for their daily lives are a million light years away from yesterday's fireworks display. No doubt many an unemployed youth or low paid worker must have been delighted at the idea that they had outdone all these much more powerful countries. However, together with these there was also the newly elected prime Minister of Greece, Kostas Karamanlis, cheering along with the rest of the Greek supporters. He was sitting in the seats especially reserved for the elite and was no doubt thinking that this result would be very useful in distracting the attention of the masses from the real problems of life. We don't want to dampen the mood, and we hope that the people had a good damn party last night, but we can't avoid pointing out that this also has a very reactionary side to it. Modern day football is the equivalent of the ancient Roman
Extractions: a lesson for the workers of all Europe By Alan Woods in Athens Under a blazing sun, at midday on Thursday, May 17, tens of thousands of Greek workers poured onto the streets of central Athens to protest the anti-working class policies of the right wing socialist government of Konstantinos Simitis. This was the second general strike in the space of one month. Although the final figures have not yet been published, it was clearly a very successful strike. As had been widely expected, the size of this demonstration was less than the massive demonstration of 26 April. Nevertheless it was very big: anything up to one hundred thousand. Moreover, it is clear that new layers of the class are moving into struggle all the time. Among the impressive array of banners from practically every industry could be seen those of the traditional heavy battalions of Labour: the metal workers, printers, building workers. But there were many sections not normally noted for their militancy. There were contingents from the artists, writers and musicians, complete with bands and drummers; secretaries, news vendors, undertakers, waiters, hairdressers, make-up artists and even a contingent of police in uniform. In addition to the workers, there were a number of contingents from small businesses: garages, shops etc., as well as a large number of students.

Extractions: Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Skip to content Today is Republic of Mali Proclamation of Independence Day The Asia-Pacific region does not figure prominently in Greece's foreign policy agenda, which focuses on the European Union and also the Balkans, and Greece currently (2005-2006) holds a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council. Greece is Australia's 58th most important trading partner, with exports to Greece valued at A$59 million and imports from Greece worth A$138 million. Australia's key exports to Greece are crustaceans, lighting fixtures and fittings, medical instruments and other food products. Australia's main imports from Greece are fresh vegetables (mainly olives), aluminium, articles of rubber, cheese and curd (mainly fetta cheese). Exports of services to Greece in 2004 were valued at A$67 million, compared to imports worth A$194 million, mainly travel and transport services. This reflects the larger number of Australians travelling to Greece compared with the small number of Greeks who travel to Australia. However, services exports increased markedly in 2003-2004 as a result of Athens' preparations to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in August/September 2004. Australian companies were successful in signing services contracts with the Athens Organising Committee (ATHOC) worth more than A$200 million. These services related to engineering and design, media and security consulting, education and training, merchandising and waste management.
