49% of the Parnita casino, 23% of the Thessaloniki Water Supply and Sewerage, 5% of Deutsche Telecom’s OTE , 20% of the Public Gas Corporation, and some state real estates will be sold until the beginning of the summer.

The government put up a big sign, which says “For Sale,” on big public companies, because the Ministry Commission decided to quicken the privatization. This move aims to bring ?1 billion income to the treasury for the current year.

Greece will start selling:

- 49% of Parnita casino, which will lead to its full privatization until the summer.

- 23% of the Thessaloniki Water Supply and Sewerage together with its management to a strategic investor until the beginning of the summer.

- 5% of OTE will be transferred to Deutsche Telecom until the end of the year.

- About 20% of the Public Gas Corporation to a strategic investor.

- Public real estate by keeping the right to resell them again.

In case the Germans decide to buy by 5% of OTE, then ?700 million will enter the treasury.
