It may surprise you, but the best-performing stock market in Europe in 2012 was Greece’s.
The Athens index rose 33%, outpacing even Germany’s DAX.
But the news is not symptomatic of Europe’s health as a whole, where the overall economy continues to contract.
And after so long underwater, the Greek market may just be making up for lost ground.
Greek officials now predict that the economy will start growing by October, as European support lends a measure of confidence to foreign and domestic investors.
So, is a Greek exit from the euro – a Grexit – finally off the table?

Once again, the young took to the streets to do battle with police – some 60% of them remain without jobs.
Greece has the highest unemployment rate in Europe. The country owes more than it makes: the national debt is 161% of GDP.
The human factor is tragic: Suicides, and people losing their homes, unable to pay for food, or for heavily-taxed heating oil.
In the video above, former Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou speaks to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour about the early days of the country's economic crash and future of Greece in the eurozone.
(CNN) - Greece is not looking for a bailout by the rest of Europe as it struggles to bring down sky-high budget deficits and public debt after years of profligate spending, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said Monday.
"We are asking for the support of the Euro-zone so that we can borrow on the markets, as every other country (does), basically with the same rates that other countries are borrowing", Papandreou told CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
"We have asked for the necessary time and political support to implement our program and, whenever necessary, measures we need to take."
His comments came as finance ministers from the 16 countries that use the Euro met in Brussels to try to find a way to end the crisis that some analysts say could also spread to other heavily indebted nations, such as Portugal, Spain, and Italy, and even undermine the Euro.
