In fact, the National Development Plan of Greece, prepared by the government for the return of the country to growth in the post-covid period, in combination with the funds that will flow into the Greek economy from the Recovery Fund, create the best possible conditions for a new, dynamically evolving, investment cycle “, added Dr. Athanasios Kelemis.
