Schifffahrt: Griechische Reeder entdecken die Athener Börse – Finanzplatz gewinnt an Bedeutung
Immer mehr griechische Schiffseigner öffnen ihre Familienunternehmen für den Kapitalmarkt. Der Trend stärkt den Finanzplatz Athen. Aber Schifffahrtsaktien gelten als extrem volatil.
Greek shipowners are increasingly turning to Athens' stock exchange to raise capital, marking a shift in the previously underexplored financial sector. Capital Maritime Finance Corp. (CMF), a shipping entity from the Evangelos Marinakis empire, recently launched an IPO on Euronext Athens, more than quadrupling its initial offering of 300 million euros.
This development signals a growing significance for the Athens stock exchange as it gains recognition from international investors. The Greek shipping fleet, controlled by Greek owners, comprises nearly 5,800 vessels, accounting for over 19% of global tonnage and contributing 7-8% to the country's GDP.
