“The year 2022 will be one of the historic records for both foreign direct investment in Greece and for exports,” Finance Minister Christos Staikouras announced on Tuesday during his speech at the “Naftemporiki” conference entitled “Greek Economy & Entrepreneurship: Challenges and Opportunities in an Unpredictable Future!” Referring to the performance of the Greek economy, he said this proved that entrepreneurship and the state, working together, were able to contain the unprecedented challenges to a satisfactory degree.
He added that “we also had opportunities in the past with a favorable European environment, but at that time for four years we had approximately zero rates of economic growth.”
Finally, he stressed that “2022 will be a record year for foreign direct investment in Greece, as well as for exports. According to the European Commission, Greece will be the champion among all the countries of the European Union in the period 2022-2024 in terms of investment growth rate”. While, in terms of export activity, he noted that “Greece has exports as a percentage of GDP at around 41%, exceeding countries such as Italy, France, and Spain and approaching countries such as Portugal.”
