ECB to hold Governing Council meeting in Athens
[Intime]
The Governing Council of the European Central Bank is meeting on Wednesday and Thursday at the Bank of Greece, for the first time since 2008.
Its president, Christine Lagarde (pictured), has had the opportunity to get a taste of Athens and the Greeks in a different climate than what prevailed during the difficult years of the debt crisis.
The government’s chance to convey its messages to her will be on Wednesday at 7 p.m., when central banker Yannis Stournaras hosts a dinner in the presence of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who will deliver a speech on the Greek economy today and the government’s goals.
