              he ongoing economic crisis has caused a
            
            
              series of problems for both construction,
            
            
              and public works, two sectors whose
            
            
              access to bank financing has been dramatically
            
            
              reduced.
            
            
              Despite such problems, though, jump-starting
            
            
              public works projects will create thousand of new
            
            
              jobs, while construction can become a driver for
            
            
              the Greek economy's yearned-for growth.
            
            
              It is worth noting that the real estate market is the
            
            
              mirror of a country's economic situation, since it
            
            
              offers work to more than 150 professions. One of
            
            
              the key sectors of the Greek economy is current-
            
            
              ly being hit by recession, by a climate of insecuri-
            
            
              ty and uncertainty, as well as by high taxation;
            
            
              however, it may relive the good days of the past

              Notwithstanding any action, the course of the
