Foreign direct investment in Greece during crisis. (Prospects - Weaknesses)

The economic crisis has dramatically affected the Greek economy during the last decade and undoubtedly it has negatively affected every business. This shrinkage in the Greek economy has clearly brought to the fore the urgent need for an increase in investment initiatives. It has made it imperative to seen ways to make Greece an attractive country for foreign investors. This is an argument for the intensification of the country's efforts to overcome the climate of uncertainty.
Within this negative environment there is hope. Although the wider economic climate has severally been negative cutting off investment flows, international organizations such as UNCTAD are predicting a recovery, albeit small. In addition, attracting investment is a time-consuming process that requires a systematic effort to establish a country in the minds of entrepreneurs and investors as being friendly and open to investment and entrepreneurial action.

It also analyzes the period 2000-2010 and presents statistical data and data on foreign direct investment in Greece for that period.
