3 A final comment on 2015 This presentation is dedicated to describing our views and thoughts regarding the Greek economic outlook for Yet, before moving on to focus on the economic developments of 2016, we should devote one last thought to 2015 and understanding why it turned out the way it did. This is important not only for philosophical reasons, but also because the lessons learnt in 2015 should inform our thinking about In that respect, the big question that needs to be answered is Why did 2015 turn out much better than anybody anticipated? especially given the massive self-imposed shock of bank holidays and capital controls. The answer, to my mind, lies in the chart (page 18) that breaks down economic activity into cyclical (such as investment) and non-cyclical (such as consumption) components. While the cyclical component of economic activity collapsed the non-cyclical component demonstrated remarkable resilience. Therefore, it may well be the case that consumption has declined over the crisis years to such levels that only its most inelastic part remains and Greeks are willing to continue financing that part either through past wealth (i.e., a negative saving rate) or through their stash of cash. Either way, we believe that the fact that we have reached a minimum level of consumption puts a floor under further recessionary pressures. 3
4 Outlook for 2016: a delicate balance between certain negatives and potential positives Our outlook for 2016 represents a balancing act between negative events that have already materialised, such as the 3 rd wave of fiscal consolidation and pension system rationalisation which is already under way and a set of positive actions that have the potential not only to mitigate but even to counterbalance the recessionary impact of the former. More specifically, we believe that economic sentiment could benefit substantially from the normalisation of the funding schedule from the official sector, the gradual relaxation of capital controls and the return of excess cash to the banking system post recapitalisation, the acceleration of the privatisation programme and the payment of arrears to the private sector. A necessary pre-condition for all these is the successful completion of the 1 st review of the current economic adjustment programme and the restoration of political visibility. 4
5 Certain negatives and potential positives (plus a statistical correction) For 2016 our baseline scenario is one of a mild contraction in the first half of the year, due to the lagging impact of the financial disruption caused by the capital controls and the effect of the new fiscal consolidation measures introduced in Q3 & Q plus the new adjustments in payroll taxes and pension expenditure scheduled for Q Following the stabilization, on a quarterly basis, in Q we expect steady growth in the second half of the year based on the restoration of business confidence, low starting levels of economic activity, a robust tourism season, an acceleration of the absorption of EU funds and of the privatization programme. Provided that the above tailwinds materialize the balance between negatives and positives is tilted to the positive side with intra-year growth dynamics expected to be 0.5%. Yet the full year GDP is expected to come in at -0.6% due to an estimated negative carry-over effect of -1.1%. 5

10 The Revised GDP data are now more in line with sentiment indicators The revised GDP data are now more in line with the leading indicators. Yet, we believe that the steep decline in sentiment is more a result of sentimental overreaction and is not indicative of the decline in economic activity. For 2016, we estimate a negative carry-over effect of approx. -1.1%. The quarterly GDP profile, according to our estimations, is -0.5% in Q1, 0% in Q2, +1.0 in Q3 and +% in Q4. For 2017, we estimate GDP to grow between 2% - 3% based on a positive carry-over effect of 2% and a QoQ growth rate of approx. 0.3% Real GDP (% change) Q1/10 Q2/10 Q3/10 Q4/10 Q1/11 Q2/11 Q3/11 Q4/11 Q1/12 Q2/12 Q3/12 Q4/12 Q1/13 Q2/13 Q3/13 Q4/13 Q1/14 Q2/14 Q3/14 Q4/14 Q1/15 Q2/15 Q3/15 Q4/15 Q1/16 Q2/16 Q3/16 Q4/16 Q1/17 Q2/17 Q3/17 Q4/17 QoQ (RHS) YoY (LHS ) ESI vs GDP growth rate Q1/01 Q3/01 Q1/02 Q3/02 Q1/03 Q3/03 Q1/04 Q3/04 Q1/05 Q3/05 Q1/06 Q3/06 Q1/07 Q3/07 Q1/08 Q3/08 Q1/09 Q3/09 Q1/10 Q3/10 Q1/11 Q3/11 Q1/12 Q3/12 Q1/13 Q3/13 Q1/14 Q3/14 Q1/15 Q3/15 Economic Sentiment Indicator (LHS) (revised) Real GDP growth (% ΥoΥ, RHS) (old) Real GDP growth (% ΥoΥ, RHS) Source: ELSTAT, European Commission DG ECFIN, Piraeus Bank Research 10

18 The steady recovery in the non-cyclical components of GDP (mainly consumption) has played a key supportive role throughout the crisis period and explains a big part of GDP resilience.

The remaining amount to be disbursed is 175mn.

25 Economic Outlook: Inflation In 2015, the average headline CPI declined by 1.7%. In 2016, the inflation outlook will be decided by a tug-of-war between the inflationary impact of VAT hikes and the disinflationary effect of excess supply.

27 Economic Outlook: Nominal GDP & GDP Deflator Due to structural changes since 2010, the GDP deflator has shown greater sensitivity to the negative output gap than CPI. This sensitivity differential has now closed, and we estimate the GDP deflator will come in at -0.7% in 2015, pushing the nominal GDP growth rate to -1.0%. For 2016, we anticipate that the GDP deflator will end up close to 0% and the nominal GDP growth rate will range between -1.0% and 0%.

29 Economic Outlook: Unemployment Rate In 2015, the unemployment rate reached 25.2%, supported by job creation schemes and the hiring of public sector employees. In 2016, we expect the unemployment rate to range between 23.5% and 24.5%, as we estimate that the employment schemes will continue to support the labour market and that, towards the end of the year, activity will strengthen. In 2017, we expect the unemployment rate to range from 22.5% to 23.5% and to decline thereafter, as the economy will return to growth and the first positive results of the privatizations will be reflected in the employment figures.

37 A bird s-eye view of the evolution of Greek debt Despite the widespread belief that interest in Greek debt is at rock-bottom levels, the combination of GDP recession and entrenched deflation is creating a substantial positive snowball effect that contributed 6.76% in 2014 and 8.53% in 2015 to Greek Government Debt growth. 3 Driving Factors of Debt (as % of GDP) Primary Balance (reverse sign) i.e: "+" is a deficit " -" is a surplus "Snow-ball" effect Stock - flow adjustment+ Δ (debt) Note: ESA 2010 adjustment, primary balance based on MoU methodology since Source: Ameco Database, DG ECFIN, ELSTAT, IMF, Piraeus Bank Research calculations 37

39 Banking Sector: Evolution of loans and deposits In 2015 the outflow of deposits and the dependency of Greek banks on Eurosystem funding had an adverse impact on the total credit formation. In the recapitalization and the gradual restoration of domestic confidence in the banking system will increase deposit inflows. Credit will stabilise in 2016 and start expanding by Private Sector Loans (% of GDP) Private Sector Deposits (residents, % of GDP) Source: Bank of Greece, Piraeus Bank Research 39
40 Banking Sector: Evolution of loans and deposits The liquidity position of the Greek banking system is (once again) stretched to extreme levels, pushing the funding gap to record highs. Based on the assumption of further relaxation of capital controls and the pattern of deposits inflows after the 2012 lows (see next slide), we expect a 4.5% growth in deposits in 2016 and a stabilisation in credit contraction.
