The active support and participation of NYSE, the world’s largest stock exchange, enhances the prestige and the visibility of the Forum and of Greece to a wider international investment audience. It also shows the stable support to Greece, the Greek companies, the Greek shipping industry, and the Diaspora.
The U.S. Capital Markets are a major source of capital for a growing number of companies of Greek interest and the NYSE plays a leading role in this.
