Industrial Research (IOBE) The Foundation
for Economic & Industrial Research (IOBE) is a private, non-profit,
public-benefit research organisation. It was established in 1975 with the dual
purpose of promoting research on current problems and prospects of the Greek
economy and its sectors and of generating reliable information, analysis and
proposals for action that are not produced elsewhere and can thus be of high
value to policy makers in the context of economic policy making. In that sense, IOBE holds a unique position in Greek
society: it is the only politically independent, non-partisan body dealing with
major issues of the economy, and it aspires to being pro-active, that is, it
seeks to identify, at an early stage, economic issues that can become crucial in
the future and to propose timely solutions for these. </DIV>
