International Arrivals by Air (1) The information pertains to the arrival of passengers on international flights regardless of their

place of residence. With the exception of the information for the Athens airport, which pertains solely to foreign residents. (2) The

data for the last available month for the Athens airport represent an estimate by SETE Intelligence. (3) The airports are classified

as follows: The Dodecanese: Rhodes - Kos - Karpathos, Crete: Heraklion - Chania, The Ionian: Corfu - Zakynthos - Kefalonia -

Aktion, The Cyclades: Mykonos - Santorini, Peloponnese: Araxos - Kalamata, Other: Samos - Skiathos - Kavala - Mytilene. (4)

Type I: Final Civil Aviation Authority Data - Type II: Provisional Civil Aviation Authority Data - subject to review.

Domestic arrivals at major Greek airports (1) Passengers who travel round-trip are counted twice: upon arrival at their

destination as well as upon return to their point of departure. (2) The data for the last available month for the Athens airport

represent an estimate by SETE Intelligence. (3) The classification of airports is as follows: The Dodecanese: Rhodes - Kos -

Karpathos, Crete: Heraklion - Chania, The Ionian: Corfu - Zakynthos - Kefalonia - Aktion, The Cyclades: Mykonos - Santorini -

Paros, Other: Samos - Skiathos - Kavala - Mytilene. (4) Type I: Final Civil Aviation Authority Data - Type II: Provisional Civil

Aviation Authority Data - subject to review.

Road Arrivals Road arrivals are recorded by the local police departments based on nationality, irrespective of place of permanent

residence. Consequently, the data include immigrants to Greece returning from trips abroad. The countries are classified as

follows: Albania: Kakavia - Krystallopigi - Sagiada - Mertzani, Bulgaria: Ormenio - Kyprinos - Νymfaia - Promachona - Exochi - Ag.

Konstantinos, fYROM: Evzonoi - Doirani - Niki, Turkey: Kastanies - Kipoi.

Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) The Consumer Confidence Index of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and

Development (OECD) measures the level of consumer confidence in each country. Since holidays are deeply interwoven with

consumer confidence, this index is a very good indication of anticipated demand for each market. The higher/lower numbers

indicate higher/lower levels of consumer confidence, and thus an increased/reduced inclination to visit a given holiday destination.

In January 2018, as mentioned previously, travel receipts declined by -3.0% year-on-year. In more detail, receipts from residents

of the EU28 increased slightly, by +0.3%, to €86 million, whereas receipts from outside the EU28 fell by -7.0% (January 2018:

€66 million, January 2017: €71 million). The uptick in receipts from within the EU28 was due to a +37.7% increase in receipts

from residents of non-euro area EU28 countries (January 2018: €35 million, January 2017: €26 million), as receipts from euro

area residents fell by -15.6% to €51 million. Breaking down receipts by visitor’s country of origin, receipts from Germany fell by

-9.2% to €19 million, whereas receipts from France increased by +5.9% to €3 million. Receipts from the United Kingdom decreased

by -1.8% to €11 million. Turning to non-EU28 countries, receipts from Russia dropped by -93.7% to €0.4 million, while receipts

from the United States also decreased by -22.1% to €11 million.


Macroeconomic developments


The state of the economy: According to ELSTAT estimates, growth in the GDP was limited to 1.35% in 2017 (+1.77%

in 4th quarter 2017) and was lower than expected. This development is exclusively due to ELSTAT's forecast of a drop in

private consumption of -1.3% in 4th quarter 2017 and its marginal increase of 0.1% for 2017 overall, despite the ongoing increase

in Goods and Services imports (5.0% in 4th quarter 2017, and 7.2% for 2017 overall), but particularly the very high increase in

imports of most consumer products1. The estimate for sluggish private consumption in 2017 (+0.1%) follows the estimated

-0.02% drop in 2016, and -0,5% drop in 2015, after a marginal increase of +0.6% in 2014. Based on these estimates, private

consumption in 2017 was just €310 million higher than 2013, when imports of Goods and Services over the same period increased

by € 9.23 billion.

The inconsistency between estimates on the course of private consumption and imports of Goods and Services may be due to the

fact that, on the one hand, imports are defined to a great extent by administrative data that reflect real demand based on the

status of the real GDP (in other words, the recorded “official” GDP plus the GDP of the unrecorded [black] economic activity); and

on the other, that private consumption is determined only on the basis of recorded gross disposable income. In recent years,

gross disposable income has declined relative to both real GDP and recorded GDP. Specifically, ELSTAT estimates the gross

disposable income at 64.7% of recorded GDP for 2017, down from 69.9% in 2012. This sizeable -5.2% drop in the GDP is due to:

1 Specifically, for 2017 ELSTAT estimates a standstill in private consumption despite the very high increase in imports of most consumer products, such as meat (2017: +7.9%,

2016: +4.4%), fish ( 13.4%, 16.5%), dairy products (15.1%, -1.1%), vegetables (10.6%, 1.8%), fruit and nuts (8.7%, 0.1%), cereals (11.6%, 11.9%), animal or vegetable fats/oils (18.0%, -9.7%), alcoholic beverages (12.6%, 9.7%), leather and fur (68.9%, -23.5%), ready-to-wear clothing (4.4%, 9.3%), electrical appliances (5.4%, -2.5%), passenger cars (10.0%, 14.3%), etc.


- about 80% (-4.1% of the GDP) to a) the drop in reported (rather than actual) income from business activity, and b) the drop

in income from assets (mainly from interest which, despite the increase in bank deposits in 2017, has been replaced by non-

taxable and unrecorded benefits [bonuses] that banks offer for time and other deposits, etc.).

- about 20% (-1.1% of the GDP) to the increase in tax revenues and net payments (contributions less pensions and other

benefits) to insurance funds

These data indicate that both private consumption and total domestic final demand (total consumption plus investments), as well

as the real GDP for 2017 and the period 2014-2017 increased at faster rates than the increase in recorded GDP by ELSTAT.

In any case, the higher growth of the Greek economy in

2017 and the apparent continuation along the same course

in the first two months of 2018 is clear from developments

in its key sectors (see Table).

January-February, * Εstimation

Developmnets in selected sectors of the Greek Economy


Execution of the State Budget: Data regarding the execution of the 2017 Budget (B2017) appear to confirm our projection that

the General Government Primary Surplus (GGPS) in 2017 will exceed 3.5% of the GDP, after accounting for the extraordinary

expenditures of €1.4 billion in December 2017 for the so-called “social dividend”. Moreover, the execution of B2018 in January

and February 2018 supports estimates for a 2018 GGPS higher than the 3.82% of the GDP provisioned in B2018 and the 3.5%

required by the 3rd MOU. The large GGPS in 2017, combined with the far-better-than-expected execution of B2018 in the first

two months of 2018, is expected to significantly speed up negotiations to wrap up the 4th Bailout Review, following the completion

of the 3rd Review with the Euro Working Group's approval of the €6.7 billion tranche (€5.7 billion paid in March 2018, plus €1

billion in June 2018). The continued achievement of a GGPS at higher levels than those required once again highlights the

misguided projections of Greece's inability to achieve the necessary GGPS, and the need to impose new growth and fiscal measures

on the country in 2019 and 2020.

Specifically, the projection for achieving a GGPS higher than 3.82% of the GDP in 2018 is based on: a) the far-better-

than-expected execution of budgets in 2015, 2016 and 2017 due to the fact that structural reforms implemented in the period

2010-2017 have helped to drastically reduce primary public expenditures and are already contributing to a satisfactory increase

in General Government revenues; b) the imposition of additional fiscal measures amounting to 0.6% of the GDP, to be

implemented in early 2018; and c) the expected increase in the nominal GDP by 4.0% in 2018. This projection is already

being borne out by the execution of B2018 for the first 2 months of 2018, indicating the following:

- at the level of Central Government, in the first two months:

o net revenues in the Budget (B) came to €675 million above target;

o total Budget primary expenditures were lower than target by €112 million;

o the public investment program surplus was higher than targetted by €656 million (also due to the transfer of revenues

from the EU-28 structural funds from B2017 to B2018).

o overall the Central Government Primary Surplus came to €2.44 billion, compared to the targeted surplus of €1 billion.


- at General Government (GG) level, on a consolidated cash basis for January 2018:

o GG revenues rose by +10.3% (January 2017: -1.7%).

o primary expenditures plus the increase in overdue Greek State obligations rose +4.0% (January 2017: +2.6%).

o as a result, the GGPS on a cash basis came to €3.95 billion, from €3.32 billion in January 2017.

Approval of the €6.7 billion tranche Following the completion of the 3rd Bailout Review, the EWG approved the payment of

the €6.7 billion tranche, €5.7 billion of which will be paid in March 2018 and the balance of €1 billion in June 2018.

Financing through markets: After S&P, Fitch and Moody's upgraded Greece's credit rating, the Greek State issued 12-month

Greek Treasury Bills, through which it raised € 813 million, plus € 187.5 million from non-competitive offers, at an

interest rate of 1.25%, further strengthening its position on the market. This took place despite the relative upset on

international markets as a result of the Fed’s interest rate increases on 21 March 2018 (to 1.5%-1.75%) and market projections

for three additional increases within 2018. Yields on Greek Government Bonds fell in March after rising in February from

levels to which they had dropped in January. They remain at relatively low levels (10-year at 4.11% on average in February),

despite the fact that the ECB does not intervene to stabilise trade in Greek bonds, as is the case with government bonds in other

Southern European countries.

New improvement in the economic climate: The foregoing developments contributed to impressively improving

Greece’s Economic Sentiment Indicator (Feb. 2018: 104.3, Jan. 2018: 101.9, Dec. 2017: 101.0, Nov. 2017: 98.4, May

2017: 93.2) and Consumer Confidence Index (February 2018: -53, January 2018: -51), while the Services Expectation Index

came to 18.9 in February 2018, up from 13.4 in December 2017 and 6.6 in March 2017.


Finally, employment and unemployment rates are moving in a positive direction:

- According to the most recent Labour Force Survey (seasonally adjusted figures), in December 2017:

o There were 3.76 million employed compared to 3.65 million in the same month in 2016, and 3.65 million in 2015. The

number of employed is the highest since 2011.

o The unemployed population amounts to 989,200, compared to 1.12 million last year and 1.16 million in 2015. After

peaking at 27.9% in 2013, unemployment has gradually dropped to 20.8% (though it is still high), compared to 23.4%

last year and 24.0% in 2015.

o The economically inactive population amounts to 3.25 million, compared to 3.26 million last year, and 3.38 million at its

peak in 2011.

- Based on the “ERGANI” Information System’s results, paid employment rose by +16,628 jobs in February 2018, compared

to +24,938 in February 2017. Major contributing factors in increasing employment were accommodation (+2,393) and

catering services (+1,917), and it is noteworthy that no sector showed marked losses. The sector with the greatest losses,

for example, was the food industry, with a loss of -359 jobs.


Consumer Confidence Index (CCI)

February 2018


Finland had the highest CCI in February 2018, at 104.0. For the same period, the OECD-country average is at 101.1, presenting a

+0.6% increase over February 2017. The largest percentage increase for February was demonstrated by Turkey with +2.2%,

followed by Greece in second place with +2.1% and Austria third at +1.5%. The CCIs of Turkey (99.0) and Greece (98.5) are

lowest of the countries analysed and the only ones under 100. Only Sweden showed a decrease (-0.2%), with a CCI of 100.9 for

February 2018.

The following charts show the course of the CCI in each country over the past 24 months, in comparison with the average for

OECD countries (black line).

Consumer Confidence Index, FEBRUARY 2018


The following table shows the position of each country in comparison with the OECD average and whether the CCI has improved

from 24 months earlier. The countries with an improved CCI and levels above the OECD average are those one might well expect

to be in correspondingly higher demand, while the opposite holds true for countries with a CCI below the OECD average or which

was trending downward. In some cases an increase/decrease in the index indicates an increased/decreased inclination towards

consumption, while levels higher/lower than the OECD average indicate markets with consumers exhibiting comparatively

higher/lower consumer confidence. In any case, the consumption capacity of each country — depending on per capita GDP and

disposable income — should be borne in mind. Of particular note is the change experienced by Britain, going from a country with

a rising CCI that was higher than the OECD index, to a country with a dropping CCI and a lower value compared to the OECD.

Turnover Indexes in:

Tourism, Air & Sea Transports and Travel Agents


The Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) prepares the Turnover Indexes (TI) for Transport and Tourism on a quarterly basis,

using the year 2010=100.00 as the base year.

Turnover Indexes are business cycle indicators that depict the development of the service industry. The aim of these indexes is to

measure the activity of the sectors under study in terms of value. Turnover includes the total amounts invoiced by a business

during the reference period and which relate to the sale of goods and services to third parties. Possible subsidies for

products/services are also taken into account. VAT and other related discounted taxes directly connected to turnover are excluded.

The same applies for duties and taxes on goods and services invoiced by the business. Furthermore, it does not include other

operating income, financial income and extraordinary income of the business.

A representative sample of 300 transport businesses and 249 tourism businesses with an annual turnover equal to or greater than

€250,000 from all around Greece were used to calculate the Tourism and Transport Turnover Index in the survey.

For further information about Turnover Indexes and their preparation method, visit the Tourism Turnover Index webpageor the

Transport & Travel Agent Turnover Index webpage.

http://www.statistics.gr/el/statistics/-/publication/DKT51/-




The turnover index for the hospitality and catering services sector was up +7.1% in the 4th quarter of 2017 compared to the 4th

quarter of 2016. The air transport turnover index is at a high level with an increase of +4.2%. The travel agency turnover index

presented a decrease of -3.3% compared to the same quarter last year. Conversely, the turnover indexes for sea transport are

significantly lower than the high levels of 2010, and are at the lowest levels for 4th quarter for the period 2010-2017.
