Based on recent announcements of the Greek government it seems that the stamp duty cost on non-bank lending of businesses will remain intact. And even worse, duties will be levied on corporate bond loans for the first time in half a century.
The choices of the Greek government enforce the role of credit institutions at the expense of non-bank lending, creating substantial barriers to the financing of businesses, especially startups and SMEs. Such choices do not support investment activities and are inconsistent with European efforts to incentivise the advance of non-bank loans with the participation of collective investment funds and other lenders.
