Prime Minister Mitsotakis unveils economic recovery plan worth 57 billion euros

Prime Minister Mitsotakis presented the key principles of a massive economic recovery and resilience plan - or Greece 2.0 as it’s called - on Wednesday. Mitsotakis described the plan as a game-changer for the country and as “a bridge to the post-COVID-19 era”. The government says this plan will boost economic growth by as much as seven percentage points over the next six years, and create tens of thousands of jobs. The plan consists of 170 projects, investments and reforms, and will mobilize 57 billion euros.
