Stock market, weekly close: The war in Ukraine "disappeared" 7,800 million in a week

Stock index

The market closed last week on the Athens Stock Exchange with a huge loss of 11.38%.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine shocks the stock and oil markets.

Bank stocks were the focus of the sell-offs, with the banking index on the Athens Stock Exchange posting weekly losses of 21.91%.

UBS appears “bullish” on the Greek economy and Greek banks and raises its growth estimates for Greece, despite the impact of the war in Ukraine. It raises the GDP forecasts for 2022 to 5.5% or 1.5 basis points above the mid-market estimates and 60 basis points above the Commission’s forecast.
