Reshaping the future: transforming the Greek economy through reforms

Minister for Finance Christos Staikouras participated with the Director-General of DG Structural Reform Support of the European Commission, Mario Nava, in a one to one discussion on "Reshaping the future: transforming the Greek economy through reforms’, in the context of the7th Economic Forum of Delphi.

Speaking about the transformation of the Greek economy through the implementation of reforms, Mr Staikouras said:

“Our strategy aims at a modern and dynamic economic policy mix, based on the implementation of prudent fiscal policy by reducing the tax burden of households and businesses and promoting structural reforms to address long-standing distortions of the Greek economy, broaden its productive base and strengthen the openness of enterprises. The overall 5 pillars of our reform agenda have been instrumental in achieving a strong recovery and sustainable growth, creating new jobs and strengthening social cohesion.”

For his part, Mario Nava, Director-General of DG Structural Reform Support said: “The European Commission’s DG Structural Reform Support has helped and continues to help Greece develop and implement more than 200 technical support projects covering a wide range of policy areas through theTechnical Support Instrument (TSI). In particular, I would like to stress that a project to develop the Capital Market Strategy is a success. Capital markets need to be put at the heart of the efforts so that they can contribute to Greece’s economic recovery and growth.”
