FAGE and Coca-Cola Hellenic to move HQs overseas

Report from Kathimerini

More economic news, concerning the Eurogroup and Troika (Athens News)

Image change? Samaras

Update:

Full page Andrew Davidson interview with Dimitris Lois, Chief Executive of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, in the Sunday Times Business Section, 21.10.2012.

Headline: "I will save my liquid assets from the ruins of Greece".

The company will be domiciled in Switzerland, and listed on the London Stock Exchange.

"Our commitment to Greece is unaffected. Our value to Greece is from manufacturing, and we cover 98% of our needs there...and second, our corporate office there will evolve to be the service centre for all 28 countries we do business in, with 150 colleagues based in Greece".

A fascinating full-page interview. Not such bad news for Greece, after all.

Update, Kathimerini, November 2012
