IOBE: Tourism will be crucial for business expectations in Greece in coming monthsGreek economic sentiment indicator rose in May

Greek economic sentiment indicator rose to 105.1 points in May, but remained below last year's level (108.6 points), the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research IOBE said on Wednesday.

The survey said that business expectations in Greece improved mainly in the industrial and retail commerce sectors and less in the services sector, while in the construction sector expectations dropped strongly. IOBE noted that the strong improvement of expectations in the hospitality sector - the index rose to its highest level since 2012 - was evidence of the dynamism of the sector during the summer period.

The survey said that increasing inflationary pressures did not further limit consumer confidence, which recovered after April's decline, and attributed the May rebound partly to the positive impact of government policy interventions offering support against the increasing energy cost. IOBE said the war in Ukraine was expected to end soon and noted that sanctions against Russia escalated. The survey stressed that the course of tourism will be crucial for business expectations in the coming months.
