Greek shipping lender Piraeus Bank is eyeing bigger transactions, including leasing deals, after striking a partnership with Japanese leasing house Orix Corp.
Eleni Vrettou, executive general manager and head of corporate and investment banking at Piraeus Bank, revealed the banks ambitions at Capital Link's Cyprus Shipping Forum in Limassol.
These were Piraeus Bank's first public statements about the partnership since the bank announced on 21 February that it had struck an “exclusive strategic collaboration” with Orix to provide financing to Greek shipowners.
