Greece's Ministry of National Economy and Finance welcomes OPAP and Allwyn merger and says the combined group will remain listed on the Athens Stock Exchange

Greece's Ministry of National Economy and Finance issued a press statement on the merger of OPAP with Allwyn, presenting the deal as an example of how Greek businesses can scale internationally through strategic partnerships, mergers and acquisitions. It framed the transaction as a signal of confidence in Greece and its economic prospects, and highlighted that the unified company will remain listed on the Athens Stock Exchange. The ministry noted that the combined company will be among the leading firms by market capitalisation and argued that retaining the Athens listing supports the standing and international visibility of the Greek capital market. It also linked the timing to FTSE Russell’s upgrade of the Athens Stock Exchange to developed market status and pointed to reforms that have established a clear, predictable and fully transparent legal framework for corporate transformations, intended to strengthen investor confidence.
