  • National Bank of Greece (NBG) Memo Name: James Zhang Phone #: (757) 788-9962 College/School: CLAS Year: Class of 2017
    National Bank of Greece (NBG) Memo Name: James Zhang Phone #: (757) 788-9962 College/School: CLAS Year: Class of 2017 Company Description [NYSE; NGB] is a Greek bank and financial services company that primarily operates in commercial banking, but also has business in retail banking, investment banking, asset management, and insurance. The National Bank of Greece SA previously wrote off huge losses on its balance sheet during the Eurozone debt crisis, it has been on a steady path to recovery since the second half of 2013, and has been expanding its business in various sectors throughout Europe. Specifically, the rise in Greek lending and home loans, diversification by way of improved operations in Turkey and emerging markets, and the general recovery of the Greek economy will propel NGB to huge growth in the long term. Most notably, recent actions by Mario Draghi and the European Central Bank will create a healthy, stable environment for the National Bank of Greece to achieve its upside potential over time. Thesis / Key Points Rise in lending and specific developments in the banking sector in Greece will play to NBG’s advantage As Greece’s largest lender, NBG has acted swiftly in the past year to boost its position financially by increasing loans and retailing banking, as well as increasing capitalization from outside investors and generating domestic confidence. o Its nonperforming loans (NLP) have receded drastically and will contribute to its profitability when compared with its 3 closest rivals, Piraeus Bank, Alpha Bank, and EuroBank, who have all booked operating losses in this field. In addition, NGB now controls a quarter of commercial banking in Greece and 25% of total consumer deposits, and has also proceeded to raise around €2.5 billion in capital to reduce the Greece government’s holding stake in the bank.

  • Panel 3 CIVIL SOCIETY-ORGANISATIONS
    Greek Ethical Identities in Continuity and Change: A Social Networks Approach of Applied Philotimo in Economo-scape of Local Communities; the Case of Cooperative Banking Theodoros A. Katerinakis, MSc, PhD Candidate Tel: +215 895 6143, e-mail: [email protected] Department of Culture & Communication, Drexel University, 3141 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA Μail Address: 106A North 21st St., Philadelphia, PA 19103, USA Abstract: The core value of Greek philotimo derives from the root concept of kalokagathia and is manifested in the institutional and transactional ethos of Cooperative Banks in Greece. A major case study of Cooperative Bank of Chania (CBC) is presented to introducing the analytical approach of social network analysis, via UCINET, to represent membership ties and managerial ties in the second largest Greek cooperative bank. The concept of ethics in doing business is extended in a deliberate tendency to build transactional networks that enforce pre-existing social networks and stay tuned with sustainable local economies, a notion consistent with locality in multicultural Europe. Cooperative banking operates in intersection of emotional capitalism and social enterprise, as a cultural process through which new interactional- emotional scripts of economic relationships are illustrated by the cultural frames of cooperation or team work. The case of CBC of Chania shows how non-commercial ties of buyers- sellers matter in “major purchases” and insulate from crisis. Most such transactions take place among kin, friends, or acquaintances that substitute impersonal markets, especially when decisions involve high uncertainty; so common values like philotimo promote connectedness and builds trust that prevails in dealing with risk in order to make financial decisions, sustain and support them.

  • Greece in a Monetary Union: Lessons from 100 Years of Exchange-Rate Experience
    Greece in a Monetary Union: Lessons from 100 Years of Exchange-Rate Experience Paper prepared for Bank of Greece Research Seminar (Wednesday 4th January 2017, 11:00 a.m., Athens, Greece) & American Economic Association Annual Meeting Chicago/IL 6th – 8th January, 2017 (Saturday 7th January, 10:15 a.m., Hyatt Regency Chicago, Horner Room) Dr. Matthias Morys Department of Economics University of York (UK) [email protected] Abstract We add a historical and regional dimension to the debate on the Greek debt crisis. Analysing Greece, Romania, Serbia/Yugoslavia and Bulgaria from political independence to WW II, we find surprising parallels to the present: repeated cycles of entry to and exit from monetary unions, government debt build-up and default, and financial supervision by West European countries. Gold standard membership was more short-lived than in any other part of Europe due to fiscal dominance. Granger causality tests and money growth accounting show that the prevailing pattern of fiscal dominance was only broken under international financial control, when strict conditionality scaled back the treasury’s influence; only then were central banks able to conduct a rule-bound monetary policy and stabilize their exchange-rates. The long- run record of Greece suggests that the perennial economic and political objective of monetary union membership can only be maintained and secured if both monetary and fiscal policy remains firmly anchored in a European institutional framework.

  • A HISTORY of the PELASGIAN THEORY. FEW Peoples Of
    A HISTORY OF THE PELASGIAN THEORY. FEW peoples of the ancient world have given rise to so much controversy as the Pelasgians; and of few, after some centuries of discussion, is so little clearly established. Like the Phoenicians, the Celts, and of recent years the Teutons, they have been a peg upon which to hang all sorts of speculation ; and whenever an inconvenient circumstance has deranged the symmetry of a theory, it has been safe to ' call it Pelasgian and pass on.' One main reason for this ill-repute, into which the Pelasgian name has fallen, has been the very uncritical fashion in which the ancient statements about the Pelasgians have commonly been mishandled. It has been the custom to treat passages from Homer, from Herodotus, from Ephorus, and from Pausanias, as if they were so many interchangeable bricks to build up the speculative edifice; as if it needed no proof that genealogies found sum- marized in Pausanias or Apollodorus ' were taken by them from poems of the same class with the Theogony, or from ancient treatises, or from prevalent opinions ;' as if, further, ' if we find them mentioning the Pelasgian nation, they do at all events belong to an age when that name and people had nothing of the mystery which they bore to the eyes of the later Greeks, for instance of Strabo;' and as though (in the same passage) a statement of Stephanus of Byzantium about Pelasgians in Italy ' were evidence to the same effect, perfectly unexceptionable and as strictly historical as the case will admit of 1 No one doubts, of course, either that popular tradition may transmit, or that late writers may transcribe, statements which come from very early, and even from contemporary sources.

Tsymbursky show us, that ancient population from Indo-Europeans of the Balkans were Pelasgians[1], in this regard, i assume that the Pelasgians were the ancient ancestors of the Proto Greek-Italic tribes, and related Proto Balto-Slavic tribes. Of the my opinion, that the ancestors of the Pelasgians came to the Balkans and the Italian Peninsula from Central Europe and the Baltic. Image 1. Pelasgians and their war against Dorians[2] The Herodotus[3], and also other antique authors Indicated, that Pelasgians before the Greeks settled in Greece, Asia Minor and in many parts of Italy. By the name of Pelasgians in the ancient times was called Peloponnese Peninsula in Greece, and possibly the goddess Athena-Pallada's cult at the Greeks (Arcadia at the Latins[4]. The image of Pallada it is an image of the warror- godness. On behalf of Pallada occurs the word "palladium" (a 708 BEHP «Suyun»; Vol.4, June 2017, №7 [1,2]; ISSN:2410-1788 wooden image of a goddess possessing a miraculous effect)[5]. The city that owned palladium was considered to be under the auspices of the goddess. About palladium, stored in Troy, there was a legend that he fell from the sky. The descendants of Aeneas brought him to Rome, and since then palladium was kept in the temple of Vesta[6]. Aeneas was an ancestor of the Adriatic Veneti (Heneti)[7] in the Etruria land.

  • Cooperative Banks in Greece and Small & Medium Enterprises Views
    International Finance and Banking ISSN 2374-2089 2020, Vol. 7, No. 2 Cooperative Banks in Greece and Small & Medium Enterprises Views at a Time of Credit Constraints John Mylonakis Bank Marketing Researcher, Greece E-mail: [email protected] Received: Sep. 24, 2020 Accepted: Oct. 25, 2020 Published: Nov. 15, 2020 doi:10.5296/ifb.v7i2.17943 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5296/ifb.v7i2.17943 Abstract Cooperative banks are among those credit institutions that have played an important role in the financial systems of many countries, usually operating supplementary to the traditional commercial banks, mainly at regional level and aiming mostly at supporting SMEs financial needs. They provide traditional banking products to local SMEs even in remote areas. The number of Cooperative Banks in Greece has been decreased from originally 16 banks to 6 in the second half of 2020. The scope of this paper is to examine the managers’ views of 158 SMEs towards Cooperative Banks’ support (banking facilities) over the economic and financial crisis period (2015 −2019). The research was carried out the last three months of 2019, using constructed questionnaire to a random sample of 208 Cooperative Banks’ clientele in places where Cooperative Banks have branches. Research showed that SMEs have a quite good opinion for Cooperative Banks presence in Greece.
