Euronext Athens records record‑high capital raising as Greek market attracts foreign investors

Greek listed companies are set to raise more than €6 billion in the first half of 2025, pushing total primary‑market capital inflows for the year to about €2.5 billion. The surge follows strong market liquidity after Greece’s integration into Euronext, with foreign investors accounting for 64.1 % of trading volume in 2025 – the highest share since before the 2020 crisis. Major issuers include Piraeus Bank, National Bank, DEI, Lamda Development’s €350 million bond, IDEAL Holdings’ planned listing and ADME’s €1 billion capital increase. Euronext Athens CEO Giannis Kontopoulos highlighted that the market attracted over €18 billion in commitments, signalling depth and maturity capable of supporting large‑scale transactions. Regulators noted the uptick in public offerings and the broader shift of Greece’s equity market toward the “super‑league” of developed exchanges.
