Govt’t to present national development plan next month, EconMin says

Greek Economy, Development and Tourism Minister George Stathakis presented the framework to drive the economy back to growth course.

Addressing a Business Conference organized by Naftemporiki, Stathakis reminded that since last September the government was implementing an agreement based on three basic pylons: first, stabilizing public finances, second, stability of the financial system with a recapitalization of banks, management of non-performing loans, a new framework and other parameters and third, structural changes to ensure a sustainable base of stability for the Greek economy.

“Beyond this agreement, beyond these three pylons, the stability of the Greek economy creates a macro-economic environment which focuses on something else. The recovery of the Greek economy. This growth should be fair and democratic, to distribute benefits in a fair way to social groups.

This goal is adopted by a development plan currently drafted and which is expected to be unveiled next month. The plan’s goal is to lay out the strategy to exit the crisis, the framework and priorities, extroversion of the economy, the dynamic sectors with an international competitive environment. To determine through a dialogue with social partners, the strategy to exit the crisis,” the Greek minister said.
