Greece’s economic growth rate in the first quarter of the year expanded at the fastest pace since 2008, said the Hellenic Fiscal Council in a quarterly report on Wednesday.
The Greek state budget will show a primary surplus of more than 3.5 pct of GDP in this year, from 3.3 pct in 2017, as the country continues its positive fiscal performance in 2018, the Hellenic Fiscal Council said in a report released on Monday.
