Country Note Greece 2025

By Dr. Maria Fanou, CELIS Country Reporter for Greece, and Ms. Anastasia Oikonomopoulou, CELIS Assistant Country Reporter for Greece.

Greece is among the most attractive FDI destinations, with net FDI inflows reaching €6.7 billion in 2024. The overall growth of the Greek economy and confidence among foreign investors in the future growth of the country reflects efforts in recent years to establish a business-friendly environment and a coordinated strategy for sustainable growth. Currently, the country is among the EU member states lacking a comprehensive FDI screening mechanism.* There are, instead, laws that provide for screening-like elements for foreign investments and investors. Recognizing the importance of security issues, critical infrastructures and cutting-edge technologies in the current political and economic situation, the country has announced its intention to adopt a national FDI control mechanism in the near future. To this end, there is an ongoing consultative/ legislative process expected to result in the adoption of a new FDI screening mechanism.
