GREECE - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Greece has a capitalist economy with a public sector accounting for about 40% of GDP and with per capita GDP about two-thirds that of the leading euro-zone economies. Tourism provides 18% of GDP. Immigrants make up nearly one-fifth of the work force, mainly in agricultural and unskilled jobs. Greece is a major beneficiary of EU aid, equal to about 3.3% of annual GDP.

The Greek economy averaged growth of about 4% per year between 2003 and 2007, but the economy went into recession in 2009 as a result of the world financial crisis, tightening credit conditions, and Athens' failure to address a growing budget deficit. By 2013, the economy had contracted 26%, compared with the pre-crisis level of 2007. Greece met the EU's Growth and Stability Pact budget deficit criterion of no more than 3% of GDP in 2007-08, but violated it in 2009, when the deficit reached 15% of GDP. Deteriorating public finances, inaccurate and misreported statistics, and consistent underperformance on reforms prompted major credit rating agencies to downgrade Greece's international debt rating in late 2009 and led the country into a financial crisis. Under intense pressure from the EU and international market participants, the government accepted a bailout program that called on Athens to cut government spending, decrease tax evasion, overhaul the civil-service, health-care, and pension systems, and reform the labor and product markets. Austerity measures reduced the deficit to 1.3% in 2017. Successive Greek governments, however, failed to push through many of the most unpopular reforms in the face of widespread political opposition, including from the country's powerful labor unions and the general public.

In April 2010, a leading credit agency assigned Greek debt its lowest possible credit rating, and in May 2010, the IMF and euro-zone governments provided Greece emergency short- and medium-term loans worth $147 billion so that the country could make debt repayments to creditors. Greece, however, struggled to meet the targets set by the EU and the IMF, especially after Eurostat - the EU's statistical office - revised upward Greece's deficit and debt numbers for 2009 and 2010. European leaders and the IMF agreed in October 2011 to provide Athens a second bailout package of $169 billion. The second deal called for holders of Greek government bonds to write down a significant portion of their holdings to try to alleviate Greece’s government debt burden. However, Greek banks, saddled with a significant portion of sovereign debt, were adversely affected by the write down and $60 billion of the second bailout package was set aside to ensure the banking system was adequately capitalized.

In 2014, the Greek economy began to turn the corner on the recession. Greece achieved three significant milestones: balancing the budget - not including debt repayments; issuing government debt in financial markets for the first time since 2010; and generating 0.7% GDP growth — the first economic expansion since 2007.

Despite the nascent recovery, widespread discontent with austerity measures helped propel the far-left Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) party into government in national legislative elections in January 2015. Between January and July 2015, frustrations between the SYRIZA-led government and Greece’s EU and IMF creditors over the implementation of bailout measures and disbursement of funds led the Greek government to run up significant arrears to suppliers and Greek banks to rely on emergency lending, and also called into question Greece’s future in the euro zone. To stave off a collapse of the banking system, Greece imposed capital controls in June 2015 shortly before rattling international financial markets by becoming the first developed nation to miss a loan payment to the IMF. Unable to reach an agreement with creditors, Prime Minister Alexios TSIPRAS held a nationwide referendum on 5 July on whether to accept the terms of Greece’s bailout, campaigning for the ultimately successful “no” vote. The TSIPRAS government subsequently agreed, however, to a new $96 billion bailout in order to avert Greece’s exit from the monetary bloc. On 20 August, Greece signed its third bailout which allowed it to cover significant debt payments to its EU and IMF creditors and ensure the banking sector retained access to emergency liquidity. The TSIPRAS government — which retook office on 20 September after calling new elections in late August — successfully secured disbursal of two delayed tranches of bailout funds. Despite the economic turmoil, Greek GDP did not contract as sharply as feared, with official estimates of a -0.2% contraction in 2015, boosted in part by a strong tourist season.

In 2017, Greece saw improvements in GDP and unemployment. Unfinished economic reforms, a massive non-performing loan problem, and ongoing uncertainty regarding the political direction of the country hold the economy back. Some estimates put Greece’s black market at 20- to 25% of GDP, as more people have stopped reporting their income to avoid paying taxes that, in some cases, have risen to 70% of an individual’s gross income. These issues will continue to be a drag on the economy in 2018 and further delay recovery from the financial crisis.

Industry Developments

INDUSTRY HIGHLIGHTS
The domestic industry of plastic and rubber products is fragmented, consisting of many small and medium-sized units and few large companies. The activity of each company varies as the products
can be applied in several different sectors such as industry, constructions, agriculture or even households.
The wider sector comprises more than 1,500 companies. The annual production volume is around 700,000 tons (960,000 tons in 2009), while market value approximates ?2 billion (more than ?
2.5 billion 7 years ago).
The industry has important export activity (especially in the upper part), as approximately 20% of domestic production is exported (140,000 tons), a percentage that increases overtime.
The economic downturn that occurred in late 2008 and the fiscal consolidation measures reduced significantly domestic industrial activity, while negative impacts occurred in most sectors, plastic
industry being among them.
Specifically, according to the relative ELSTAT index, production volume of the specific sector was declining from the year recession emerged until 2013, as the demand for plastic products was
reduced. Afterwards, production index recovered in the next 2 years, indicating an increase of 4.9% in 2015 compared to the previous year. This trend was partly attributed the reduction of
production cost due to the lower prices of raw materials.
However, the improvement in the last year was achieved amid gradual deterioration of the political and economic conditions of the country, which culminated in the closure of banks for 3 weeks
in July and the imposition of restrictions on capital transfers.
Thus, the production process of several companies of the industry was hindered that month, since they were unable to settle payments promptly to their suppliers due to capital controls and
therefore acquire the necessary raw materials.
However, companies with export activity were able to offset this negative trend, while they didnʼt have particular problems in the procurement of raw materials.
During 2015 Brent price recorded a cumulative decrease of 47% compared to the previous year, at $52.32 per barrel on average, leading to the reduction of production cost in the domestic plastics
industry. This trend, combined with stimulating global demand for many export-oriented companies, fueled the growth of production performance and the increase of gross and operating profits.
