According to the Minister of National Economy and Finance, Kostis Hatzidakis, the upgrading of the Greek economy by DBRS Morningstar is, according to the government’s financial choices.

As Mr Hatzidakis states in his statement: it is also “And reminder, especially these days, to continue a prudent economic policy and to keep Greece away from populism and political instability.

The evaluation house report points out, inter alia, the over -performance of budgetary targets, the treatment of tax evasion, the reduction of red loans close to the level of the European Union, the further decline in public debt by a total of 60 GDP units in 5 years, which is as highlighted by one of the largest era. It also stresses the strong political commitment to maintain a prudent fiscal strategy, which is reflected in the rapid improvement of the primary surplus, despite the multiple shocks facing the economy from 2020 onwards.

The upgrading of the Greek economy by DBRS therefore is accompanied by the recording of a series of structural changes and national achievements that have contributed to such a positive evaluation. It is also a message, however, that the upward course of the economy is neither self -evident nor given. Because positive performance presupposes – in addition to the seriousness of financial management – and political maturity and stability. Factors that we have to take seriously by all Greek citizens, as the progress of recent years is largely based on our collective national endeavor and many years of sacrifices. It is up to us to preserve this progress and raise Greece even higher. “
