Greek Minister of Shipping and Senior Executives of Shipping Companies Join Capital Link’s Annual Global Shipping Markets ...
December 02 2019 - 12:28PM
The Minister of Shipping of the Hellenic Republic and Senior
Executives of listed Shipping Companies will participate in Capital
Link’s Annual Global Shipping Markets Roundtable.
The Global Shipping Markets Roundtable will
conclude the 21st Annual Invest in Greece Forum taking place that
day at the Metropolitan Club in New York City on Monday, December
9, 2019. The Forum is organized in cooperation with the New York
Stock Exchange and major global investment banks and will feature
four Greek Government Ministers, business leaders from Greece and
the US, top US investors, global investment banks and senior
representatives from the European Commission and the European
Central Bank. The new Greek government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis
heralds a new chapter of solid growth trajectory coupled with
political and economic stability and a business-friendly
environment.
Greece controls over 20% of the world's total
merchant fleet, making it the largest in the world. It is ranked in
the top for all kinds of ships, including first for tankers and
bulk carriers. Shipping is a global business and is affected by the
global commodity and energy markets and does not depend on the
Greek economy itself. However, shipping is a major contributor to
the country’s economy through the foreign currency inflows it
generates given its leading global presence. Greek shipowners who
compete on a global scale have a track record as astute operators
and asset traders.
The panel will discuss Greece’s strategic
positioning as a Global Maritime And Logistics Hub and will then
tackle topics of critical interest for the industry, such as the
upcoming environmental regulations, focusing on IMO 2020 and
beyond, the impact of technology on shipping, access to capital,
sanctions and tariffs and their impact on trading and commerce. The
panel will also discuss the latest developments and outlook of the
various shipping markets.
The composition of the Shipping Markets
Roundtable panel is as follows:
Moderator:Mr. Costas Paris, Senior Reporter, The
Wall Street Journal
