The minister referred to Eurostat data according to which Greece has the 3rd best performance in the Eurozone with inflation standing at 2.1%. “Spain is 4.1% and we are 2.1% and Tsipras told us to follow the Spanish example. Greece is stable in the countries with the lowest inflation in Europe, we are the 3rd with a difference of 0.1 from the second.”
In other countries, not only in the UK, there are shortages in supermarkets, we have no shortage in the supply chain, he said.
