The 2025 Report highlights the significant resilience and expanded contribution of the Greek capital market to the financing of growth and entrepreneurship. For example, it notes that “approximately €1.9 billion in funds were raised on the Athens Stock Exchange, while 9 new companies were listed on the market and the total market capitalization of listed companies saw a significant increase of approximately 41.8%, confirming the market’s momentum.”
As noted in the Report, the Hellenic Capital Market Commission “further strengthened its work through increased inspections, intensified prudential supervision, and the imposition of a significant number of sanctions, with the aim of protecting investors and ensuring the orderly functioning of the market.”
At the same time, “it maintained zero pending cases older than five years, actively contributed to the institutional upgrading of the Greek capital market through proposals incorporated into Law 5193/2025, and promoted digital transformation initiatives, upgrading of information systems, and strengthening of its supervisory tools.”
The Report also emphasizes that the Commission placed “particular emphasis” on initiatives to enhance financial literacy and investor protection through awareness campaigns, educational programs, and collaborations with academic institutions and market participants.
Finally, it highlights “the upgrade of the Athens Stock Exchange to the developed markets category, ” a development that strengthens its international standing and is expected to broaden the base of institutional investors.
“All these positive developments confirm the steady progress of the Greek capital market, which reinforces its role as a key pillar of financing for the economy’s growth and productive reconstruction,” the Chair of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission noted.
