Greek Alternate Economy Minister Alexis Charitsis met on Wednesday with European Investment Bank (EIB) President Werner Hoyer in Luxembourg, with the latter committing to greater involvement and support of the EIB towards Greece. Mr. Charitsis stressed that the EIB essentially supports the efforts to fund Greece’s economy and realize all those investments required for Greece’s economy to return to sustainable growth.
This cooperation has already produced significant results, said the Greek Minister: in 2016 Greece entered into agreements with the EIB for a 2.4 billion euro funding; this amount is expected to rise significantly in 2017, thus ensuring new funds for crucial infrastructure projects throughout Greece, such as line 4 of Athens Metro, development projects in municipalities and local communities, as well as small and medium-sized companies creating thousands of new jobs.
