The company
AI-draftedThe Bank of Greece is Greece's central bank and a member of the Eurosystem: it issues euro banknotes, implements ECB monetary policy, supervises banks and insurers, and is the State's fiscal agent. Its shares, listed since 1930, earn a fixed statutory dividend of 12% of par value (€0.672); remaining profit goes to reserves or the Greek State.
How it makes moneyFY2025 · basis: other
It is
- Greece's central bank and an integral part of the Eurosystem, with a Statute that has the force of law; its shares have traded on the Athens Exchange since 12 June 1930.4,5
- A share with a fixed statutory dividend of 12% of capital, €0.672 a share for every year since FY2019; for FY2025 shareholders received €13.3m of €257.7m profit and the State €244.4m.1,5,6
It is not
- Not a commercial bank or a peer of ETE, ALPHA, EUROB or TPEIR: it earns from Eurosystem operations, its investment portfolio and fees for State services, and the institutions it supervises may not own its shares.1,5
- Not one share, one vote: 75 shares make a vote, and no holder other than the State and persons under Article 2 of Law 2292/1953 may vote more than 2% of capital.3,5
- Not a claim on profits or reserves beyond the dividend: an additional dividend needs a yearly General Council proposal, and reserves reach shareholders only on dissolution, after par value and split equally with the State.5
