Institute for Economic Policy and Public GovernanceThe Chamber’s Institute for Economic Policy and Public Governance held a number of meetings through-out the year with both political leaders of Greece and citizens, in a number of cities, to determine the pulse of the country’s progress in economic affairs and public administration. In addition, the Institute published a digital codification of Greece’s legislative framework for the years 20011-2014. The Institute provides policy recommendations to the Greek government, acts as a catalyst for public dia-logue on key issues, and monitors reform efforts—with the objective to establish a more effective public administration and sustainable economy.
