The Greek government’s new growth and development strategy for the country’s economy was presented and extensively discussed at Tuesday’s meeting of the Development Strategy Commission, presided by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, ANA reports.
The presentation was carried out by Nobel laureate and economist Sir Christoforos Pissarides, who is head of the Commission; director-general of the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE) Nikos Vettas and London School of Economics professor Dimitris Vagianos.
The Commission’s goal is to make recommendations to the Greek government on strategic directions the economy should move towards in the medium term, in order for Greece to be comparable to the most successful smaller economies of the European Union, such as the Netherlands, Austria, and Denmark.
At the meeting, the transfer of ownership of a land plot at the region of Perea in Thessaloniki to the Ministry of Finance was also approved by the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (TAIPED) in view of creating a technology and innovation park, as nearly 70 companies and 17 research teams have already expressed interest with this scope in mind.
