Optimism

The ratio of 7 to 1 of registrations-deletions and in particular, of “start-ups” versus “shutdowns”, in the register of PCCI reasonably creates optimism for the future. Piraeus entrepreneurship, in spite of the times, continues numerically at least, strengthened even in 2021 during the pandemic, while it is expected to recover in the new year, following the positive development of the port, logistics, shipyards but, mainly, the dynamics of the global primacy of Greek merchant shipping.

Respectively, at the national level, it was also observed according to General Electronic Commercial Registry, but in the first half of 2021, that new companies increased by 71% with over 26,000 new registrations.

The President of PCCI, Vassilis Korkidis, points out that the Chamber’s attention will continue to be focused on the challenges of the transition period, the effort to tame the pandemic and the economy, as well as to support businesses. It is indicative of the activities and encouraging, that the registrations of companies in the area of ​​the big port, continue to be more and the deletions much fewer, but we do not forget that we must first face an autumn and a winter with several ups and downs, before the market stabilizes.
