[01] Greek enterprises see significant economic prospects in 2016
There are significant capabilities of supporting economic activity in
2016 through offering significant liquidity from the state to the private
sector on the condition that the government strictly implemented its
state budget, a privatisation programme and structural reforms included
in a third memorandum, the Federation of Hellenic Enterprises (SEV)
said in a weekly bulletin on economic developments in the country.
SEV warned that in any other case, 2016 could be an "annus horribilis"
for enterprises and workers as an over-taxation trend would further
compress available incomes in the country. "
SEB noted that funds from the bailout programme should help Greece towards
an economic recovery through privatisations and boosting liquidity in
the real economy.
[02] Woman arrested in northern Greece for suspected links to ISIS
A woman of Swiss-Egyptian nationality was arrested and was being
detained at the police headquarters in the northeastern Greek city
of Alexandroupolis on Thursday, due to suspected links with jihadist
militant group ISIS. The woman was arrested while trying to pass from
the Greek border into Turkey with her four-year-old son.
According to sources, she was detained on the basis of an outstanding
warrant for her arrest issued by Interpol, after her husband in Egypt
reported that she had kidnapped their child and left to join ISIS in
the fighting in Syria.
