We are revising the growth target for this year from 3.6% to 5.9%, said the Greek Prime Minister from the podium of the 85th Thessaloniki International Fair.
Starting his speech, the Prime Minister said “No country has a future if the youngsters do not feel confident about their future”.
“I announced the purchase of 18 rafale, which will soon become 24. This year, I am again in Thessaloniki to describe our plan for Greece that is changing and moving forward, but mainly to present the most we can achieve together in 2022”.
“Greeks now pay less taxes everywhere. Also, employees and companies pay less contributions. Our borders are guarded by Europe and we have a comprehensive recovery plan that will fund our common future. We had significant losses, but they were less than most European countries in terms of the pandemic”.
“The result is reflected in numbers that can not be disputed. It is also reflected in the decline in unemployment by 2 points. Today, the people who are working in Greece are the most for the last decade. There is optimism in every corner of the country. Progress is also reflected in the red loans”.
“Just last Tuesday it was announced that GDP climbed by 16.2%. This is the reason why, today, I am able to announce the revision of the growth target of the economy from 3.6 to 5.9%”.
