Greece: China invests following privatizations

Privatizations. The list of privatizations is jumbled: 39% of the ELTA Post, 23% of the Thessalonian Water Utility, 10% of the Athens Water Utility, at different levels, the OPAP games company, the OTE telecom operator, the DEH power group, the gas company, the State Real Estate Company, the Company of Olympic Sites (most of which haven’t been used since the Olympic Games in 2004), the XENIA public hotel chain, casinos, the LARKO nickel exploitation firm, the DETH Thessalonian Fair Company, the HELLEXPO National Exposition Parks Company, radio frequencies…. However, it is mostly the communication sector that will be affected with the sale of 49% of the OSE railway and the award of management rights for airports, harbors and highways. These privatizations are already causing a stir in the political world and adding to the anger of the Greek public opinion which is protesting against the “selling off of the country’s wealth.”
