THE GREEK government this week shifted its state sell-off programme into a crucial stage, starting roadshows for a Eu1bn-plus privatisation certificate issue. To be led by the National Bank of Greece, EFG Eurobank and Paribas, the issue will run slightly ahead of the third sale of shares in Greek national telecom operator OTE - which is likely to be launched by Credit Suisse First Boston, National Bank of Greece and Salomon Smith Barney next week.
