And we did it without jeopardizing our fiscal sustainability, because now the economy is growing faster than expected, something that brings more revenue to the state. We have made significant cuts in the legal framework and we have digitized the state, we have reduced the bureaucracy with the Greeks being very happy that they trade with the state through their mobile phone or computer without having to stand in queues “.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis underlined that “we will have finished with the enhanced supervision regime in August, this is a very important milestone, this decision has already been made and we hope that Greece will acquire an investment grade sometime in 2023”.
