Development Minister Takis Theodorikakos outlined Greece’s plan for economic transformation at an event held at the National Gallery on Monday, in the presence of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Theodorikakos presented measures and policies aimed at achieving a new productive model for Greece’s economy.

“Our goal is to transform this decade into a period of successful productive transformation of the Greek economy, with a focus on strengthening industry and increasing productive investments. This will result in growth for all, productive development across the country, and sustainable progress through investment, support for entrepreneurship, and adaptation to the green and digital transition,” Theodorikakos said.

He emphasized that this transformation is crucial for Greece to meet Prime Minister Mitsotakis’ dual objectives for the next four years: converging the incomes and living standards of Greeks with the European average and reducing social inequalities.
