1 + CHARTBOOK 218Q2 NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE GREEK ENTREPRENEURSHIP August 218 1/3 of Greek exports demonstrates dynamic performance, supporting the economy during the crisis Jessie Voumvaki Head of Entrepreneurship & Business Analysis (+321) Analysts: Athanasia Koutouzou (+321) Georgios Sakkas (+321) Niki Konstantopoulou (+321) Issue Focus: Contribution of exports in the Contribution y-o-y growth of exports of greek to the annual growth economy of the Greek economy,4%,3%,2%,1%,%,4%,12% Dynamic products,34% Other ,8% In pursuing strategies to weather the crisis, Greek businesses have tapped in to the accelerating momentum of international trade, with their exports rising by 37 per cent in More specifically, Greek extra-eu exports had an average annual growth rate of 3 per cent during the crisis (vs 7 per cent before), while Greek exports within the EU maintained their annual growth rate at their pre-existing levels (6-7 per cent). This performance, albeit significant, proved to be weaker than that of world trade (average annual growth of 9 per cent), with Greek products losing share in international markets (dropping from.21 per cent to.16 per cent over the last 8 years). However, the picture is not uniform, as 18 dynamic products have emerged during the crisis, which have supported exports either by maintaining the high market shares they had already gained (e.g., olives, olive oil, marble), or by achieving a significant increase during the crisis (emerging products such as yogurt, pistachios, smoked fish). These dynamic products (3 per cent of Greek exports) contributed 45 per cent of the growth in Greek exports during the period In addition, they tripled their support to Greek GDP from the pre-crisis level of.4 per cent per annum to.12 per cent per annum over the same period (the contribution of other products contracted from.34 per cent to.8 per cent per year). In order to draw useful conclusions regarding the future course of these 18 dynamic products and the likely adjustments they will need to make to their strategy, we divided them into three categories: Highly-competitive products, which represent 9 per cent of total exports (mainly food) and which managed to increase market share during the crisis from 3.9 per cent to 5. per cent, thereby guaranteeing sustained future growth. Products that bought market share in terms of volume, reducing or maintaining a low relative price due to lack of demand in the domestic market (this applies mainly to construction related sectors). As the domestic market embarks on recovery, these products (11 per cent of exports) will have the opportunity to maintain their international presence on better terms. Products that lost market share (from 3.2 per cent to 2.3 per cent), which represent 9 per cent of exports (mainly products with traditional production and marketing models) and now need a comprehensive strategy adjustment if they are to hold on to the strong position they have enjoyed till now.

Zealand, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India, Singapore, S. Africa, Thailand, UAE, Turkey, USA, EU, which account for 91 per cent of global trade (adjusted for the share of the remaining countries in the total trade of non-oil goods). - Basic products: Accounting for over 1 per cent of Greek exports and, likewise, over 1 per cent of global exports. - Emerging products: With global share of exports over 1 per cent and increasing market share over time,4%,3%,2%,1%,% Contribution of exports in the annual growth of Greek economy,4%,12% Dynamic products,34% Other,8% A core of 18 products comprised the engine of Greek exports during the crisis, reporting an increase in exports of 71 per cent in the period (vs only 25 per cent for other non-oil exports) Specifically, these dynamic products (comprising 3 per cent of Greek exports) are divided into two categories: s basic export products, which account for 27 per cent of Greek exports and have gained significant market shares in global markets (e.g., aluminium (1.5 per cent), marble (7.5 per cent), olive oil (8 per cent), olives (26 per cent) and feta (3 per cent)), and emerging export products which, although still only accounting for 3 per cent of Greek exports, have made massive gains in global market shares (e.g., yogurt (7 per cent), ice-cream (1 per cent), smoked fish (2 per cent) and pistachios (1.6 per cent). During the crisis, the basic products retained, on average, their share in international markets at circa 2.5 per cent while the emerging products almost doubled their share (close to 2 per cent in 217). We note that during the crisis, the other products saw their already low share of international markets contract (to.12 per cent in 217, from.16 per cent in 29). As a result, the dynamic products (basic and emerging) tripled their support to Greek GDP to.12 per cent annually during the crisis period (with a cumulative contribution of 2bn) from.4 per cent prior to the crisis, while the corresponding contribution of other exports contracted by almost 8 per cent (declining to just.8 per cent annually in the crisis period, from.34 per cent pre-crisis). 3

While Greek exports to EU countries grew at the same pre- and post-crisis annual pace on average (6-7 per cent), Greek exports to non-eu countries increased at a slower rate during the crisis (3 per cent on annual basis vs 7 per cent pre-crisis). This development reflects mainly a reduction in Greek exports to the US, Albania and FYROM over the past eight years. On the other hand, Eastern European countries increased their demand for Greek products with exports to Poland rising by 119 per cent in the period , and to the Czech Republic by 149 per cent. In addition, Greek exports to China and Israel posted a notable increase (+146 per cent and +193 per cent, respectively, during ). 8

[3]: Average annual growth in Greek exports for each product category to the main destination Despite the increase in Greek exports of products by 37 per cent during the crisis (29-217), the share of Greek products in the global market (which grew faster at circa 7 per cent) declined to.16 per cent in 217 vs.21 per cent in 29. This had a twofold impact, as saw its share of EU exports contract (-15 per cent) while the EU too saw its share of the global market contract (-11 per cent). By examining the basic distinction of total Greek exports into 16 key product categories (see chart), only ICT exports managed to gain international market share during the crisis (.54 per cent in 217 from.48 per cent in 29). Note that the Italian market absorbs almost ¼ of Greek ICT exports, with its demand increasing by 152 per cent annually over the last eight years. At the same time, 3 product categories managed to maintain unchanged their global market share during the crisis: wood & paper products (.1 per cent in 217), chemicals (.18 per cent in 217), and metal (.3 per cent in 217). It is worth noting that the main destination country for Greek chemicals is China (absorbing 16 per cent of Greek chemical exports), with demand increasing by 52 per cent annually over the last eight years. Of the remaining categories (all of which lost some of their global share), the most significant are: Food (25 per cent of Greek exports), with global share contracting to.56 per cent in 217 (vs.68 per cent in 29). Pharmaceuticals (6 per cent of Greek exports), with global share contracting to.26 per cent in 217 (vs.36 per cent in 29). Clothing (5 per cent of Greek exports), with global share contracting to.18 per cent in 217 (vs.34 per cent in 29). 9

These mainly include foods with specific quality profiles, such as smoked fish, olives, yogurt, pistachios, feta, ice-cream and olive oil. Products that have bought market share in terms of volume, reducing or maintaining a low relative price on global markets. These include mainly construction materials such as marble, elevators, cement and aluminium probably as a counterweight for weak domestic demand (the construction sector contracted by 4 per cent during the crisis). Due to reduced earnings (or even losses), such a strategy is not viable in the long term, but a recovery in domestic demand would improve their terms of activity in the international market as well. Products that lost market share in terms of volume, which while holding high shares of Greek exports nonetheless failed to exploit effectively rising global demand, despite lowering their relative price. These include mainly traditional products such as fur, tobacco and cotton, which did not adapt their production/marketing model fast enough and look as if they need a comprehensive strategy realignment if they are to hold on to the strong position they once enjoyed. 11

Libya (currently covering 12.4 per cent of Greek tobacco exports vs.4 in 29) is a dynamically emerging destination, while the sharp reduction of demand in Germany (-79 per cent in the last 8 years) meant that it absorbed just 1 per cent of Greek exports vs 5.3 per cent in 29. holds a 1.5 per cent share in global aluminium exports. The major aluminium exporters are China, Germany and the US, covering almost ¼ of the total supply. The main destination is Italy, whose demand, however, dropped by 9 per cent over the last 8 years.
