Alpha Group CEO: “Alpha Bank’s mission is to stand by every initiative for progress”
During his short greeting that marked the start of the event, Alpha Bank Group CEO Vassilis Psaltis referred to the need for determination from all stakeholders – the State, the banking system and the business world – in order to take advantage of the opportunity of Community funds for a future of resilience and development for the country.
Mr. Psaltis noted that Alpha Bank’s mission in this new environment is to stand by any initiative for progress using its strong capital base and experienced staff, to identify which financial tool best suits entrepreneurs’ needs and assisting them in the process of maturation and success of their business plan.
Referring to the financial opportunities created in Greek companies, large and small and medium, in order to design and implement investment development plans, Mr. Psaltis stressed that the Fund for Recovery and Sustainability can offer significant financial cost savings for companies, while noting that together with the Development Law, the NSRF and the rest of the European resources, it offers “a unique opportunity to our generation to fill the investment gap of approximately Euro 100 billion that the economic crisis has bequeathed to us”.
