  • Hellenic Equities: a New Start-July 2015
    Hellenic Equities: A New Start-July 2015 In view of the imminent Hellenic stock market re-opening sometime in the short term future we attempt to re-value our preferred picks and affirm our investment thesis. It is more than obvious that in such extraordinary circumstances with low visibility and high volatility in the market and financial /fiscal operations, any assumptions regarding valuations fall under certain culprits. At the core of our problem lies the Risk free rate crucial for our model. We have utilized both the normalized scenario of 6.50% R.f. rate and the 10.50% stressed R.f. rate to better evaluate our picks. We are obliged to pinpoint that at 11.00% current 10yr Hellenic Government Bond yield both our scenarios fall short. Our fundamental research indicates as top picks in our Hellenic Equities Universe the following listed stocks: Coca Cola Hellenic (CCH), OTE Hellenic Telecommunications Organization (HTO), Aegean Airlines (ARAIG), Mytilineos Holdings (MYTIL), Metka S.A (METK), Hellenic Organization of Football Prognostics (OPAP), Titan Cement (TITK) and Hellenic Exchanges Group (EXAE). Additionally we have a positive view on Motor Oil, Thrace Plastics, Kri Kri S.A, Thessaloniki Sewage Company and Terna Energy S.A from smaller capitalizations. Coca Cola Hellenic Bottling operates largely in a broad geographical area covering the Balkan markets, Russia, certain parts of Europe and Greece. The Company is headquartered in Switzerland, a relocation offering an improved risk- return profile due to the significantly lower risk premium. We expect Coca Cola Hellenic to preserve its strong Cash Flow ability and regard it a safe and value play on Greek Equities.

  • Athens Conference
    Short Presentation Objectives of the event Conditions and priorities for the start over At a time at which the "appointment" of the Greek economy with the desired primary “surplus”, is imminent, businesses and households remain in anticipation for the restart of the real economy. Under what conditions could this be implemented? What are the critical areas for sustainable development? Which are the priorities and which is the common resultant of the political parties? And also, what can be done to immediately improve the existing businesses in the country and particularly in critical areas such as energy, industry, construction, tourism and information technology that contribute significantly to employment? These are some of the key questions that this forum through broad participation of representatives of the political arena, business, banking, science and institutions, will attempt to answer comprehensively. Energy management “in the constellation” of development At the same time, specifying as always on hot business topics, the forum will highlight the more comprehensive economic, environmental, investment, business, technological and social benefits from the sustainable energy management at all levels. From the energy production to the various stages of distribution and consumption of large and small customers, the efficient use of energy, currently provides direct business development opportunities and significant competitive advantages. The implementation of "smart" networks and remote-controlled meters and the gradual replacement of the old electric power metering systems in every house, has already started in Greece and many other European countries, bringing significant changes in everyday life. But the more comprehensive investments implemented in the transmission and distribution of electricity, as well as, in gas distribution networks, contribute additionally to the objective of rationalization management.

  • Market Reforms and Urban Disparity: the Cases of Athens & Thessaloniki Antonis Kamaras July 2004
    Market Reforms and Urban Disparity: The cases of Athens & Thessaloniki Antonis Kamaras July 2004 The Hellenic Observatory The European Institute London School of Economics & Political Science Acknowledgements I am grateful to George Pagoulatos who has offered me extremely valuable advice and has read various versions of this paper more times than he would care to remember. I have also been greatly helped by Lila Leontidou’s comments and was encouraged by her open-minded reception of this foray of mine in urban studies. Loukas Tsoukalis’s criticism went, as usual, to the heart of the matter, for which much thanks. Professor Featherstone dealt with an almost perfect stranger with a sense of fairness that can still come as a surprise, where I come from. I also very much appreciate the comments of the anonymous reviewer. He or she helped me crystallize my thinking on several issues which had previously been obstinately elusive. Several friends have also been generous with their time, putting thought to paper in their helpful advise to me. Titan Cement, Eurobank and 3E provided funding for the initial stages of my research for this paper, for which I am also grateful. As usual, I am responsible for any errors or deficiencies that the paper might contain.
