Greek efforts to privatise Piraeus port, airports to continue

London

GREECE will continue with efforts to privatise the country's largest port and regional airports as it seeks ways to attract investment for other state assets, Economy Minister George Stathakis said, in a government concession in talks with its creditors.

The privatisation process that is already underway for the Piraeus Port Authority SA, operator of Greece's largest harbour, and for 14 regional airports will continue, Mr Stathakis said last Thursday in Tbilisi, Georgia. "We're trying to revise some elements of these privatisations in order to improve them and I think we'll get a sensible agreement for both."
