Quarterly Report for the Greek Economy
3 - 2016
October 11th, 2016This presentation is supported by
Various developments in the current period
• Positive developments: international tourism, low energy prices, increasing transactions
• On the negative side: increase of tax rates, difficulties in liquidity, deterioration of investment climate due to the referendum in the United Kingdom
• On the basis of the available data, the growth rate for 2016 will probably be slightly worse than what forecasts from official bodies suggested
The most important issue is whether the necessary conditions will be created, that will lead to sustainable growth in the
medium and long term
It is necessary to create the conditions for sustainable growth in the medium-term
• Are Greek producers becoming more competitive?
• Some sectors and individual companies respond to the changes of relative prices
• The Greek economy remains one of the most closed economies in Europe, and it tends to become even more closed
• Greece continues to rank low the international competitiveness indicators
• Has the Greek economy become less dependent on the public sector?
• Some public sector operations have been limited due to fiscal contraction
• Despite decreasing public sector output, the overall share of the public sector in Greek economic activity has not decreased, as output in the rest of the economy has contracted even more

Remarks regarding public debt
• Greek debt has special characteristics relative to its
composition, maturity and interest rate profiles assessing its
impact on the economy requires careful detailed analysis
• The direct pressure of the public debt on the budget for the next
few years is relatively small
• The uncertainty that the public debt burden creates, inhibits
economic activity
Tenacious insistence on achieving budget surpluses and
consequently putting less emphasis on improving the efficient
functioning of markets and public administration, will not help
the Greek economy in the medium term
The efficient functioning of institutions is a major issue
• The international experience and modern economic analysis
suggest that sustainably high growth rates, especially in high
income economies, crucially depend in the medium term on
efficiently functioning institutions
• The less transparent, independent and efficient the functioning of
institutions, the more difficult it is to convince potential investors to
take up projects in Greece, including human capital intensive
projects
Quarterly Report Overview
International growth stability
• Slight deceleration of global growth in 2016, at 3.1%, against 3.2% in2015 as growth in the major economic zones of the world is weakening
• Slowdown of international trade growth in 2016 (2.3%), acceleration in 2017 (3.8%)
• Demand in developed economies contracted at 2.4% in 2016
• In developing countries, imports are expected to recover in 2016
• Euro area: +1.6% (2016), against +2.3% in 2015
Uncertainty factors in 2017:i. Brexit: terms, characteristics, implementation speed
ii. Slow growth in many regions of the world (USA, Euro Area, China, Brazil)
iii. Weak role of monetary policy in Europe and in the USA. In search of a role for fiscal policy
iv. Monetary authorities are currently standing by, but they may take further measures to balance markets (e.g. increase in interest rates in the USA, expansion of quantitative easing in the Euro Area, depended on the prevailing trend in prices)
In recession now for a year…
Decreasing GDP (Apr. - June 2016): -0.9%, close to Q1 ’16 ( -1.0%),
against growth by 0.8% in Q2 ’15
Recession by 1.0% in the 1st semester of 2016,
against +0.6% in the same period of 2015
The recession continues in Q2 because of:
• Further decrease of household consumption (-1.9% over -1.3% in Q1)
• Deterioration of external trade balance
o Exports contraction similar to that of Q1 (≈-11.5%), but
o Easing contraction of imports, at -7.1% from -11.9% the relaxation of capital controls in March seemingly helped imports
The 2016 State Budget is on course to meet targets
• In the first 8 months of 2016 the primary surplus exceeded the target : primary surplus €3.77 billion, against a target of €980 million
• Primary expenditure is under control:
− Currently €3.36 billion below the target, yet there are still expenditures that cannot be avoided, summing up to approximately that amount
− Expenditures for wages and pensions, grants for social security funds, grants for the Public Investment Program where lower than forecasted
− But also deceleration of expansion of liabilities in 2016 at €216 million(payments €1.35 billion in July - August)
• The revenues of the Regular Budget expanded:
− Income tax revenue from legal entities were higher by 14.1% – low income tax revenue from individuals
− Almost all targets for revenue from indirect taxes are met
However, considering the breadth and the intensity of the tax regulations introduced recently (since July 2015), the increase of public revenue was rather small
2017 Draft State Budget
• Deficit reduction by €1.25 billion, to 1.9% of GDP
• Expansion of the primary surplus by €1.15 billion, to1.2% of GDP
• To achieve the target, State Budget expenditures are planned to be cut (by
€1.33 billion) and net revenues are planned to increase (by €129 million).
• However, the tax revenues (direct + indirect taxes) are planned to rise by €1.84
billion, from the recent and forthcoming taxation measures that will apply from 1/1/2017
• The revenues from granting licenses and rights will decline further, by €1.04
billion, reaching €437 million
The effort to achieve for a larger primary surplus in 2017 will imply
additional burdens mainly on taxpayers, households and businesses

Medium-term developments
Mild improvement of the economic environment in Greece after the
1st evaluation of the Economic Adjustment Programme
• Decline of uncertainty due to the implementation of the 3rd
Programme
• Increase in the deposits of businesses and households, deceleration
of credit tightening to businesses, mild increase of the Economic
Sentiment index
• It is positive for the Greek economy that there have not been
significant repercussions from Brexit until now. However, the
condition of the immigration problem is deteriorating.
The current easing of uncertainty does not imply that
confidence in the Greek economy has been restored
Medium-term developments…
Serious concerns are still present:
• Managing Non Performing Loans, under the new regulatory framework: obstacle to decision making at least for 2017
• Rising burdens for households from increases in direct and indirect taxation, social security contributions, further cuts in pensions The consumer confidence index is
consistently lower than in the previous year
• Changes in corporate taxation for small businesses (businesses with 2nd class accounting registers), in dividend taxation, in corporate social security contributions
• Especially for professionals/freelancers, VAT increase, changes in the way social security contributions will be calculated and vagueness regarding the implementation of the new regulations many businesses may switch to another legal form or may
move headquarters abroad
• Uncertainty concerns:
• Capital controls are still in place and it is still not clear when they will be lifted
• Institutional confusion from political interventions, overlapping responsibilities
Medium-term developments…
If liquidity and growth prospects keep improving, the sectors that
currently demonstrate strong growth potential can benefit
• Manufacturing: continuous, strong upward trend since April
• Construction: slight increase of output in the 1st half of the year
due to public works. Investments will start in 2017, as a result
of privatizations - concessions
• Tourism: mild decline of international receipts, consolidation of
the significant gains in the period 2013 – 2015
Medium-term developments
Crucial developments in the near future
• Negotiations for the public debt – implementation of short-term relief measures (Eurogroup 05/25/2016) – IMF involved in the Programme
• 2nd evaluation of the Programme – new regulatory framework in the labor market
• Relations between Turkey and the EU and refugee flows
International economic factors
• Small increase of oil prices this year after the recent decision for production reduction. Mild increase of oil production next year.
• Relatively stable €/$ exchange rate in the remaining months of 2016 and in 2017
2016 Forecasts
• Private consumption will rise in the 2nd half of 2016. There will be significant
private consumption growth, as a result of the fact that private consumption was
particularly low in the same period a year earlier, but also as a result of a mild
decline in unemployment. For calendar-year 2016, private consumption will decline
by 0.3 to 0.5%
• Mild increase of public consumption in the second half of 2016, contraction by
0.8% to 1.2% for calendar-year 2016
• Increase in investment (≈ 10.0-11.0%):
o Temporary sharp rise in investment in transportation equipment in Q2, due to new
vehicle registration taxes
o Technical effects of changed in inventories (increase this year – contraction last year)
o Frontloaded implementation of the Public Investment Programme and a small increase
in the related expenditure – Continuing higher activity in public works
o The contraction of credit to businesses eased in the 2nd half of 2016 (deposits returned
to Greek banks, the ECB reinstated the waiver regarding Greek bonds used as
collateral in the Eurosystem)
2016 Forecasts
External Sector: technical neutralization of the effects of the capital controls
Increased exports in the period July - December, mainly exports of services (transportation – other services)
o Exports in calendar-year 2016 will decline (≈ -5.5%)
Stronger increase of imports in 2nd half of 2016
o The decline of imports in calendar-year 2016 is expected to be at -1.5% to - 2.0%
Deterioration of external balance due to increasing imports
After the significant revision of the estimated GDP in
the first quarter of the year, a milder recession (by
0.5%) is forecasted for calendar-year 2016
2016 ForecastsFurther unemployment reduction, yet slower
•Continuing expansion of employment in Tourism – Manufacturing – Construction, as in the 1st half of the year.
•The boosting effect of the Public Sector on employment will weaken
•The new measures taken by the government (taxation etc.) will affect private consumption, as well as employment, in sectors providing goods and services for consumers (Retail Trade)
•Professionals and other freelancers will go through a transitional period in the fourth quarter, as a result of the changes in taxation and in the calculation of social security contributions that will affect them from January 2017
Unemployment rate slightly lower than 24% in calendar-year 2016
Deflation will continue in calendar-year 2016
Prices will keep falling in Q3 at the same rate as in the previous quarters, despite the VAT increase
In Sept – Dec 2015 the price reduction slowed down this favors a slight strengthening of deflation in the last months of 2016
Deflation by 1.1% in calendar-year 2016
Initial forecasts for 2017
• Private consumption increase (by approx. 1.0 to 1.5%) mainly due to continuous
unemployment reduction
o Private consumption increase will be held back by the effects of the fiscal measures taken in
2016, and the ones that will be applied from 1/1/2017
• Mild expansion of public consumption
o The fiscal adjustment will continue, mainly with higher taxation revenues and, to a smaller
extent, with expenditures reduction (Draft State Budget 2017)
• Investment boost (approx. 8-10%) from:
o Works for projects related to completed privatization-concessions
o Lower energy cost (abolition of excise tax on natural gas for industrial use)
o Consistently high demand for exports in several manufacturing sectors
But also:
o Negative effects from corporate tax increase, changes in direct taxation – social security
contributions for professionals/freelancers, higher property taxes
o A restructuring of Non-Performing-Loans to businesses may be brought forward
Initial forecasts for 2017
External Sector
Exports expansion as a result of further easing of restrictions regarding capital transfers and acceleration of European and global trade (+5%)
Any increase in domestic demand (consumption and investment)
will be directed to a great extent to demand for imports (+6-7%)
o Note: In 2014 domestic demand increased by 1.2%, resulting to an increase of imports by
7.8%
Continuation of unemployment decline: ~22.5%
Rising prices (oil price increase, indirect taxation, strengthening demand)
CPI increase by 1.3%
Recovery prospects in 2017, by 1.5-2.0%

Note: To assess the impact on employment, we run estimations of employment trends in Greece under two scenaria: a scenario under which the investment in Hellenikon takes place and a scenario under which there is no such investment. The difference of employment estimations between these two scenaria is the impact of the project on employment.

With the revenue from selling the shares of Hellinikon S.A., the Government will be able avoid taking fiscal measures that would yield equivalent budgetary results
43
• Selling the shares of Hellinikon S.A.:
• The loss of 10,000 jobs will be avoided
• A decline in GDP by 0.2 percentage points (€0.3 billion) in the first year of contract will be avoided
• Important medium-term contribution of the project to public debt reduction
• The debt to GDP ratio will be reduced by 15 percentage points in the end of the project
Conclusions
44
• The area of the old airport at Hellinikon is a particularly advantageous
asset both at the national level and globally
• The development of the area is expected to have many positive effects
on the Greek economy and society
• Selling the shares of Hellinikon S.A. to Hellinikon Global I S.A. and
subsequently carrying out the project of developing the area can
greatly contribute to boosting confidence that Greece is a safe
destination for investment
