As part of a controversial package of austerity measures, the Greek government is currently promoting several privatization projects. Greece will be looking to sell stakes in betting monopoly OPAP and offer and in oil refining giant Hellenic Petroleum to help cut the country's debt. Costas Mitropoulos, the chief executive officer of Greece's privatization agency, said that the government is also offering investors ports, airports and several development projects, including a highway linking a sea port in western Greece to Turkey. Israeli investors have already expressed interest in a number of Greek assets that are being privatized.
