The first issue of Viomichaniki Epitheorissis’ “Industrial Review Special Survey Series” made its debut on December 1991.

A quarterly financial issue in English, containing extensive surveys on individual sectors of the Greek economy, written by Robert McDonald – former correspondent of the BBC and other international media networks & author of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s quarterly Country Report on Greece.

In 1998 it was updated and renamed “Business File Special Survey Series”.
