ATHENS (Reuters) - Political uncertainty ahead of a presidential vote early next year is dampening investment appetite in Greece, the Athens-based IOBE think tank said on Tuesday as it confirmed its previous forecasts for the economy.

The presidential vote in February is seen as a likely trigger for early elections next year since the coalition government does not currently have the backing of 180 lawmakers needed to push through its nominee. Under Greek law, parliament must be dissolved if it fails to elect a president.
