The government has “managed to keep the unemployment rate at pre-Covid-19 levels,” Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said at the informal European Union Summit in Portugal, speaking at a moderated workshop on work and employment, according to ANA.
Creating new jobs in Greece entails investments, not just consumption, he said, which means that Greece “must become a more attractive investment destination”. The country will receive 32 billion euros from the EU’s Recovery Fund, of which 19 billion euros will come from direct subsidies, and a large portion of these will be directed to investments with a green or a digital focus, while another will go to skills-building and active job-related policies. “In Greece, we plan to spend over 3 billion euros on these policies, a significant amount given the country’s size,” the Greek premier said.
