The 80 billion can bring around 300,000 new jobs. Direct and indirect from the activities they will create.
He stressed, however, that the investment gap of the Greek economy exceeds 100 billion. “So, we are obliged to leverage private investment and bring new private and domestic investment. Over time, as a percentage of GDP, Greek investments are approximately at the same percentage of GDP. We can increase this “, noted Mr. Skalkos.
Regarding the direction of investments, the Secretary General of Public Investments and NSRF underlined that Greece not only contributed from the top countries to the EU for the Recovery Fund and the NSRF, but we chose to invest in specific sectors and in particular, the green economy and digitization.
