Greece’s banking sector is slowly inching towards better times, with its major banks attempting to improve the state of their balance sheets with capital injections. As the situation in Greece turned sour, depositors were seen drawing out their savings at an alarming pace. As a result, Greek banks were left struggling with dried up reserves, making day-to-day operations considerably difficult.
Now that recapitalization plans for banks have been set in motion, investor sentiment appears to be improving at a steady pace. Following the European Central Bank’s release of stress test results, Greek banking stocks were seen gaining momentum. A number of experts view the conservatism towards Greek banks as an ideal buying opportunity. However, the strategy is more suited for aggressive and risk loving investors.
Significant developments are expected to occur at the turn of the year, as Greece finalizes recapitalization of its banking sector. Significant recovery on the economic front has already commenced. Greece’s economic picture, compared to what it looked like over the summer, is comparatively better.
The country’s purchasing manager’s index, more commonly referred to as PMI, has made substantial gains from its record low level in July. A country’s PMI indicates the level of economic growth, and is a key metric for asserting economic development. Greece’s latest PMI data shows that economic growth has rebounded to the highest level since May. Having said that, the present PMI at 47.3 is still significantly below the benchmark of 50. However, economic development has been much better than was anticipated earlier by international creditors.
