Piraeus Bank, Thomas Cook subsidiary conclude 40-mln€ financing agreement to fuel latter's expansion in Greece

Piraeus Bank this week announced a financing agreement worth 40 million euros with Thomas Cook Hotel Investments, a consortium comprised of Thomas Cook plc and LMEY Investments.

The Greek lender is TCHI’s primary credit institution in Greece, while the agreement aims to finance new hotel investments in the country.

TCHI was established in 2018 with the intent to acquire and operate hotels in Spain and Greece, which are among Thomas Cook’s primary destinations for tour packages.

The consortium’s current hotel portfolio in Greece includes only two hotels, in Crete and Rhodes, under the Sunwing brand.

Thomas Cook has a massive presence in the Greek tourism sector, bringing roughly three million visitors to the east Mediterranean country so far in 2018, a figure that ranks it first among international tour operators.

Eyebrow-raising decision by Titan cement to transfer corporate listing from Greece to Belgium

An abrupt announcement on Thursday evening by Titan S.A., one of the biggest cement producers in SE Europe and an industrial mainstay in Greece for decades, that it is transferring its corporate headquarters outside the country, constitutes an ominous development for business confidence in the thrice bailed-out country.

Titan follows other major industrial units, such as Viohalco and Coca Cola Hellenic, which transferred their corporate operations outside Greece, ostensibly for greater tax relief and cheaper borrowing.

Plastic becoming too expensive to recycle, councils say, as giant waste mountain is discovered

Plastic is becoming too expensive to recycle, councils across Britain will on warn Saturday, raising fears that homeowners' efforts to sort through their waste may be futile.

The warning by the Local Government Association comes as the Telegraph reveals mountains of plastic waste are sitting on an abandoned airfield because the local council cannot afford to send it to be recycled.

The LGA, which represents more than 400 councils across Britain, is demanding that manufacturers contribute more towards the increasing cost of recycling.
