Bourse keeps sliding in the absence of fresh capital
The trading week ended with more losses for the majority of stocks on the Greek bourse as the market seems unable to attract fresh capital.

OTE telecom outperformed with gains of 6.69, but almost all other blue chips declined, led by Mytilineos (down 4.24 percent) and National Bank (3.52 percent).
In total, 60 stocks registered gains, 76 posted losses and 25 remained unchanged.
Turnover amounted to 34.4 million euros, down from 41.6 million on Thursday.
