Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, speaking at the general assembly of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV) on Tuesday evening, referred to the achievements of the Greek economy.
The Greek Premier spoke about the increase in investment, the reduction of unemployment to 8% with a further downward trend, the digitisation of the public sector, the reduction of 83 taxes, of which 20 are related to industry, the exemption of banks from non-performing loans, the improvement of the business environment, the rapid reduction of public debt, and the lower interest rates on Greek bonds.
He underlined that Greece is currently borrowing at lower rates than powerful European economies. He emphasised that these outcomes stem from the restoration of the country's credibility, as well as from social unity and the fundamental cohesion of society, alongside a state of internal stability.
“Collective growth is turning into prosperity for the many,” he stressed, adding that Greece had succeeded through many trials.
Mitsotakis said that the government has stood and continues to stand by industry. He noted that over the past five years, both businesses and workers have experienced growth, accompanied by an increase in their average wages.
Mitsotakis also said the government's goal for the future is “to make Greece a country where people want to live, study and work, invest and create. A country in which the new generation will live better than the previous one, something that was not a given until 2019. We have the foundations for the transformation of the state and the economy.”
