2024 was a year marked by major and critical developments. From the geopolitical developments – with Ukraine, the Middle East and the Pacific at the center – to the elections that brought upheavals in Europe, the USA and India. And from the markets, where investors’ expectations were confronted with the serious challenges of reality, to the intense social mobilizations that marked everyday life.
Naftemporiki.gr, the digital edition of a historic newspaper that this year completed a century of life, managed to fully respond to these challenges.
On the front line
With over 91,000 articles and 65 liveblogs during the year, its readers tuned in, increasing the views to more than 36 million per month as well as the average time spent on the page to 9 minutes. Thanks to the trust of the audience, Naftemporiki.gr is now the No. 1 – by far – site in financial information.
Its rich content, specially selected and focused on stock market analyses, political and international developments makes naftemporiki.gr the leading platform for top professionals, investors, decision-makers, as well as every reader who loves diversity and wishes to stay informed about developments in Greece and the world.
Last year, the digital toolbox of naftemporiki.gr was expanded with upgraded mobile and tablet apps, which facilitate navigation and provide immediate access to the latest developments. (Download the app for free on the App Store and Google Play).
In 2024, naftemporiki.gr expanded its reach on social media, while through its English-language edition it continued to reliably inform the global online audience about what is happening in Greece.
All of the above was made possible thanks to the valuable support of minoanDesign, which in collaboration with the naftemporiki.gr team continuously upgraded the digital environment of the site.
The site is also reinforced by Naftemporiki TV, the only Greek financial channel, which transmits live the Greek and global economic developments, and to which users of naftemporiki.gr have access with one click.
A year of developments
2024 began with massive rural mobilizations in Greece and Europe and continued with strong shocks to the then main opposition party, SYRIZA.
In the spring, the Middle East experienced a dangerous escalation with direct conflicts between Iran and Israel, as well as continuous attacks by the Houthi in the Red Sea.
In the summer, geopolitical tensions peaked, the European elections sent resounding messages, while the devastating fires in Attica reminded us of the climate crisis threat. At the same time, the French elections marked the defeat of Macron’s party, while global public opinion was shocked by the assassination attempt on Donald Trump – an event that strengthened his image as a dynamic leader and gave impetus to his return to the White House.
Shortly afterwards, Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race, passing the baton to Kamala Harris.
In the autumn, the Middle East was once again in the spotlight with new missile attacks and a strong Israeli strike on Hezbollah. At the same time, the political scene in Greece experienced intense internal party turmoil, while in the US, Donald Trump recorded a triumphant victory in the presidential elections.
In the markets, Bitcoin skyrocketed, tech giants boosted their capitalization, and the risk of new trade and currency wars are looming.
Prompt and reliable information
All developments were covered with continuous information, in real time, minute by minute, followed up by analyses and interviews, which offer the public different perspectives on the events and their impact.
The tool of stock market indices – Greek and international – is also extremely valuable, offering our readers real time information, as well as access to the content of the print edition through Premium Services.
2025 remains an uncharted landscape. Optimism is strong, but the challenges are many. Whatever it brings, one thing is certain: Naftemporiki.gr will continue to be present.
