This dissertation was written as a part of the MSc in ICT Systems at the International Hellenic University. Its scope is to investigate whether or not, the announcement that Mr. Papakonstantinou made on Monday, the 19th of October, 2009 and the overall financial crisis, have significantly affected some fundamental variables related to Greek Stock Exchange. The announcement was in fact an admission that the Greek deficit rate was not 6% of Greek GDP that was believed by then, but approximately 12%.
The method that is followed is mostly, hypothesis testing with various samples. The findings denote that the aforementioned announcement had indeed significant impact on some variables. As far as the overall financial crisis is concerned, its impact is undoubtedly severe according to the outcomes. The findings are extensively explained at the 4th chapter while at the end of the 3rd one there is some further testing due to some previous, unexpected results.
At this point, I would really like to thank my supervisor, Prof. Vassilis Polimenis for his perpetual assistance, without which, this dissertation would not have this form.
