Leading Ahead

​​​​​"Leading Ahead", NBG's in-house magazine, is published quarterly and is also posted on its intranet site in Greek, and its internet site in Greek and English. In mid 2011, it was decided that its printed form be discontinued to reduce paper consumption and save natural resources: accordingly, the magazine was redesigned and it is since then available only in electronic form.
