The EU Commissioner for Economic Affairs, Paolo Gentiloni, praised the Greek economy during the on-camera dialogue he had with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at their meeting at the Maximos Mansion on Wednesday. The Italian politician noted, “The scenario for Greece is different. We have an average growth rate in Europe at around 0%, while in Greece, you have an average growth rate of 2% and something, which makes the difference.”
Mr. Gentiloni, who is in Greece to participate in the Delphi Economic Forum, also emphasized the increase in investments in Greece, particularly in strategic sectors such as research, development, and education, stating that “how Greece increases exports is also a very important message.”
On his part, Kyriakos Mitsotakis emphasized to the European Commissioner that “Greece is doing quite well,” as “we have achieved something that seems to be complicated for most member states, and that is high growth rates.” He then noted that our country is firmly committed to fiscal responsibility.
