Over the past years Greek
e
conomy has been in the epicenter of the global
markets
’
attention and most of the debates have been done over
its
competitiveness
which was generally considered as
one
the main reason
s
for the country’s
problems.
This
Business Project
examines the
performance and the competitiveness of the Greek
e
conomy
and the effect it had on
the exports of goods and services after the country
joined the
M
one
tary U
nion, and the
consequences
of the Eurozone crisis to the e
x-
ports in the
new environment formed. As a result there are two milestones that will be
set in the following work, first the introductio
n to the common currency in 2001
and
the second the start of the Eurozone crisis
in 2008
.
This dissertation has two main goals. Firs
t to argue whether the common cu
r-
rency increased the competitiveness of Greek products and services in the Eurozone
countries
, as it was planned,
and if that led to the increase of the Greek exports. S
e-
cond, if the Eurozone
crisis
led the G
reek e
conomy and
companies to a more export
oriented direction, and if the new formed political and economic environment in
Greece actually led to increase of the exports
. Lastly suggestions will be made based
on conclusions from data,
questionnaire
and research regarding
the potentials of the
Greek economy and particularly for sectors that are or could become export oriented.
The
Business Proposal
will be based on two pillars which are raw statistic data
from official institutions
that will be analyzed and a
resear
ch that
is based on, inte
r-
views with entrepreneurs,
various
professional chamber representatives, local author
i-
ties
and
mainly on a
questionnaire
presented to Greek
export
companies. We will a
t-
tempt to combine the official statistical data with the
opinions and
a
nswers
gathered
.
