Raiffleisen Head Says Bad Loans In Eastern Europe Haven’t Peaked
Bad loans in Eastern Europe won’t start decline before mid-2011 due to the Greek sovereign debt crisis, the chief executive of the region’s second-largest lender, Raiffeisen International Bank-Holding, said in a interview published Tuesday, Dow Jones Newswires reports.
"We will be happy if we’ve reach a real stabilization in Eastern Europe by the middle of next year. In second or third quarter of 2011 the point should be reached where the total volume of non-performing loans has stopped rising," Herbert Stepic told German financial daily Handelsblatt
"In March, my answer would have been considerably more positive, but the Greek crisis has once again caused a large added insecurity in Eastern Europe," he added.

Greek Market Sharply Lower
Profit taking led Athens stocks down on Tuesday, extending their negative streak.
The General Index drops 0.95% month to date with financials shedding 3.75% for the same period.
Turnover remained low due to the summer season, while Fed’s decisions later today are in the spotlight.
It is normal that the market goes through a correction phase given the vast gains in July, says Manos Hatzidakis, head of investment strategy at Pegasus Securities.
He expects that any developments in the banking sector are to take place after the middle of August and until then turnovers will remain low with investors on a wait-and-see stance.
"I am not reading in too much from Tuesday’s session because on light volumes, share prices become more volatile and because this is the peak of the summer holiday season there is an absence of interest," an analyst told Dow Jones Newswires.
"If we get some newsflow, the picture could change very rapidly," he added.
Across the board, the General Index dropped 2.30% at 1,666.01 on a total turnover of 84.50 mil. euro.
34 stocks rose, 148 dropped and 112 remained unchanged.
Financials retreated 3.69%.
Alpha Bank (-4.9%), NBG (-3.5%), Eurobank (-3.5%), Piraeus Bank (-2.6%), Titan (-1.9%), OTE (-1.7%) and OPAP (-1%) all dropped.

Netanyahu set to visit Greece
By HERB KEINON
08/11/2010 05:20
First Israeli PM to go; product of worsening relations with Turkey.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is scheduled to go to Athens next week, sources in the Prime Minister’s Office said on Tuesday, adding that this will be the first ever visit by an Israeli premier to Greece.
The visit, coming three weeks after Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou visited Israel, is a testament to the rapidly warming ties between the two countries, and – according to sources – is not disconnected to the tension between Israel and Turkey, Greece’s long time adversary.
“This trip shows the new dynamism in the relationship between Israel and Greece,” one diplomatic official said. In addition to meeting Papandreou in Israel last month, Netanyahu also coincidentally met him at a Moscow restaurant during a visit there in February.
The Prime Minister’s Office would neither confirm nor deny speculation that among the issues that will be discussed will be the possibility of an agreement on allowing Israeli jets to train in Greek skies.
Since the deterioration in Israeli-Turkish ties that was accelerated after Operation Cast Lead a year and a half ago, the IAF has been looking for other places – such as Romania, where an IAF helicopter crashed last month – to train.
Following the flotilla incident on May 31, Turkey closed its skies to Israeli military aircraft.
In May, the IAF held a joint exercise with the Greek Air Force in Greek airspace, and already two years ago some 100 IAF aircraft flew over Greece in a long-range training mission perceived as a dress rehearsal for a strike against Iran.
Netanyahu’s discussions in Greece are also expected to address expanding bilateral cooperation in a gamut of areas, including tourism, trade, establishment of a political dialogue and defense issues.
The recent sharp deterioration in ties with Turkey has also led to a warming of ties with other traditional Turkish rivals in the region, such as Cyprus and Bulgaria.
Both the Cypriot and Bulgarian foreign ministers were in the country earlier this year.
Papandreou, whose father, Andreas, was prime minister of Greece twice (1981- 1989 and 1993-1996) and was known for pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli leanings, has chartered a much more moderate policy toward Israel than his predecessors since taking office in October.
Before his visit last month, one Israeli official said that Greece, once considered among the harshest critics of Israel inside the EU, along with countries such as Ireland, Sweden, Portugal and Belgium, was no longer in that “basket.”
In addition to their meetings over the last year, Netanyahu and Papandreou have spoken a number of times by phone, since some of the ships trying to break the blockade of Gaza have left from Greek ports.
In a briefing before Papandreou’s visit here last month, one diplomatic official said that the Greeks – looking at the Israeli-Turkish and Turkish-US tensions – are realizing that strategic alliances in the region are shifting, and that this might be a good time to get closer to Israel as a way of warming ties with Washington.
When Israel had a close strategic alliance with Turkey, the official said, Athens gave up any thought of forging such an alliance with Israel. But now that the situation with Ankara has changed dramatically, Athens is seeing more opportunities with Jerusalem.

Housing prices dip up to 10 percent in first half
Residential property prices in the first six months of the year fell by an average of 4 to 10 percent, according to Aspis Real Estate, which described the market as “frozen” due to poor investor sentiment.
Prices of older properties in central Athens – with an average age of 20 years – saw the biggest drop, falling 10 percent, while the price of newly built properties in the northern suburbs showed the most resilience, dropping 4 percent.
Aspis Real Estate managing director Daniil Psomiadis said in a statement that the “necessary conditions for the market to rebound are an improvement in buyer sentiment, an increase in the flow of money from credit institutions and the normalization of the economic climate.”
In the southern suburbs, prices fell by an average of between 6 to 8 percent, depending on the age of the property, while prices in the western suburbs retreated by an across-the-board 8 percent.
According to experts, the real estate market is not seen as rebounding until the second half of 2011, due to the large number of unsold homes that flooded the market before the economy started contracting in 2009.
Low leveraging among property developers has allowed them to avoid slashing prices despite plunging demand.
Psomiadis also said that price drops and the deregulation of Greece’s closed professions, such as notaries, will help lower costs for buyers, and provide the market with a growth factor.
The Socialist government is expected to introduce legislation in the fall, opening up several state-regulated professions,such as pharmacists and engineers, to market conditions.
