The challenges shaping the global economic and energy landscape — including the potential role of nuclear energy in the energy production mix — were among the key topics discussed at the meeting between Kyriakos Mitsotakis and senior executives of Morgan Stanley in New York. The Prime Minister met on Friday, September 25, with the bank’s Co-President, Dan Simkowitz, on the sidelines of his visit for the High-Level Week of the 81st UN General Assembly. The meeting was part of the Prime Minister’s broader series of engagements with the heads of major financial institutions, with discussions covering both the trajectory of the Greek economy and geopolitical developments across the wider region.

Also present at the Prime Minister’s meeting with Dan Simkowitz was Jeff Holzschuh, Chairman of Morgan Stanley’s Institutional Securities Group, along with senior executives of Greek origin from the bank. During the discussion, Greece’s recent economic achievements were highlighted, while geopolitical developments in the broader region were also examined. The meeting carried particular thematic significance due to the wide-ranging conversation around the energy sector.
Energy prices, supply security, and nuclear power
Particular emphasis was placed on the challenges surrounding energy prices and supply adequacy — issues that formed a distinct and dedicated part of the discussions. Within this context, the potential for nuclear energy to play a meaningful role in the energy production mix was also explored, rounding out an agenda that spanned international and economic developments through to the pressing challenges facing the energy sector.
