Greece looks to China for investors

Greece's state-asset sales fund chairman said the country was looking in China for investors with a long-term horizon as the government ramps up the pace of asset sales.

The next step in the program is the sale and leaseback of 28 state-owned buildings, Chairman Takis Athanasopoulos said in Athens on Tuesday at a conference on Greek-Chinese business cooperation. Greece wants to attract significant capital for investments, he said.
