Abstract
During the last ten years, Greece has become more tightly linked to the outside world. Its degree of openness has risen from 43% in 1995 to 49% in 2005 (figure 1), reflecting an expansion of exports into
central and south-east Europe. Those exports represent over a quarter of total Greek exports (figure 2).
