 | | The meeting that became an institution! With great pleasure, we once again welcomed our Spanish correspondents to our annual meeting, which has now evolved into a true institution for OMONIA TRANS. In an atmosphere of mutual trust, we carried out our customary review of the past year, highlighting achievements, challenges, and the significant steps forward that were made. At the same time, the meeting served as the starting point for planning our new strategic goals for 2026. We discussed the priorities of the coming year, placing emphasis on the continuous upgrading of our services and the adoption of modern solutions that enhance our reliability and competitiveness. Beyond figures and statistics, however, there are people. The quality time we shared, the open discussions, and the personal interaction further strengthened our bonds with our Spanish correspondents. With renewed energy and a shared vision, we move forward… together! | |  | | Shedia: always in our plans! At OMONIA TRANS, we believe that corporate social responsibility begins with supporting initiatives that have a meaningful social impact. For this reason, we are steady subscribers to the street magazine “Shedia,” as well as its special children’s edition, “Mikri Shedia,” actively supporting the social reintegration of vulnerable members of our society. Furthermore, as education remains a long-standing priority for OMONIA TRANS, we proceeded with a financial donation for the purchase of an interactive board for a public primary school in Lykovrysi, contributing to the creation of a more modern learning environment. It is worth noting that this marks our second donation to the same school within a year, reaffirming our consistent and long-term support for the needs of the local educational community. | |  | | Greek exports: the road ahead is long The January - September 2025 period confirmed that the export environment remains demanding. Greek exports recorded a 4.9% decrease, amounting to €35.58 billion, while imports also declined by 4.5%. The downturn is observed across nearly all sectors and reflects the overall pressure faced by Greek businesses in the international economic environment. A particular challenge lies in the strong dependence on the European Union. Although exports to BRICS countries and the Eurasian Economic Union show impressive percentage increases, they still represent a very small share of total export volume. The need for geographical risk diversification is now more pressing than ever. At the same time, strong fluctuations by country and product intensify uncertainty. While certain products, such as olive oil and industrial goods, are showing growth, the overall picture serves as a reminder that strengthening competitiveness, diversifying markets, and pursuing a long-term strategic development plan are not optional, but essential. | | | |
