      <title>Greece announces privatization plans</title>
      <link>http://www.mnec.gr/en/press_office/DeltiaTypou/articles/article0240.html</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Greek government announced a wide ranging privatization programme, spanning rail and road
transport, airports and ports, utilities, gaming and public real estate holdings. The program is
aimed at leveraging private investment to help restructure the Greek economy, safeguard the public
interest, and contribute to the ongoing fiscal consolidation effort.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The measures include outright sales to strategic investors, initial public offerings, new and
extended public-private partnerships and the creation of private holding companies intended for
eventual listing on the Athens Stock Exchange.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The privatization efforts will leave the government with shareholdings ranging from minority
stakes of less than 34%, to controlling stakes of 51% or more. In some case the government will
divest fully from its holdings.
