“The recovery of the Investment Grade by the rating agency “Standard & Poor’s” becomes another official seal of recovery of the Greek economy. As, in fact, it manifests itself in the midst of global turmoil, it confirms that our country has definitively left behind the long-standing crisis with its weapons of stability, consistency and continuous progress”, says Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in his statement, on the occasion of the upgrade of the Greek economy by the rating agency Standard & Poor’s.

Mr. Mitsotakis also emphasizes that “The new positive assessment is an achievement of our people. At the same time, however, and rewarding the government plan which, despite the difficulties, is bearing fruit: with investment and development, it increases public wealth and reduces unemployment. Thus turning collective prosperity into individual advantage. With better salaries and pensions and with daily support for the most vulnerable”.

“So, as Greek bonds become more and more attractive to international markets, borrowing becomes easier and cheaper for businesses and households. While, at the same time, the way is being opened for investment funds of billions to be directed to the country, which could not be placed here, for almost 15 years.
Bringing our economy back to Investment Grade was neither straightforward nor easy. And yet, it is already a reality, as I had personally committed. Tangible proof that the country moves forward with a plan and work. And an additional call to stay united on the path of great changes and bold reforms for Greece in the 21st century. We continue!”, notes the Prime Minister.
