Greece braces for the economic fallout from the Iran crisis

About this episode

The episode discusses the economic implications of the Iran crisis on Greece, including government responses and effects on tourism.

Nikos Vettas, John Psaropoulos, and Yiannis Tsakalos join Thanos Davelis as we take a closer look at how the ongoing crisis in the Middle East is impacting Greece’s overall economic outlook, what steps the government is taking in response to this crisis, and what this could mean for Greece’s tourism sector as tourists factor wider global uncertainty into their travel plans. In our "I am HALC" segment, we're putting the spotlight on Jonathan Vasdekas, an original member of HALC's Leadership 2030 class and a leader in the renewable energy space.
