Eight Greece-based countries are included in this year’s Forbes Global 2000 list and rankings of the top 2,000 public companies in the world, with the latter all from the banking and refinery sectors.
According to Forbes, the biggest Greek company is credit institution Eurobank Ergasias, which is 1,097th on the relevant list.
National Bank of Greece (NBG) follows at 1,154th place.
Other Greek companies on the list are Piraeus Bank, Motor Oil, Hellenic Petroleum, the Bank of Greece (BoG), Alpha Bank and the Public Power Corp. (PPC), the biggest utility in the country.
The respected US-based business magazine used data collected up until May 5, 2023.
In terms of the Greek interest, the bullish course of the Athens Stock Market (ASE) since the beginning of the year boosted the capitalization of the specific companies, as the bourse’s general index in the first four months of 2023 increased by 16.7 percent – among the top spots worldwide.
ASE is rated as the sixth top-performing stock market this year, of the 92 monitored by Bloomberg.
