The European Union needs a new and more ambitious economic plan that will focus on the coronavirus pandemic repercussions in the short term and the union’s economic future long term, Greek Finance Minister Christos Staikouras announced on Thursday, in a briefing to the Parliament on the Eurogroup expected to reconvene the same day.
“It is obvious that the measures are taken, even if particularly effective, are not enough for the magnitude of this ordeal and for current needs,” Staikouras said. “What is needed is more and powerful funding measures, because the economy’s needs are greater. This is Greece’s stance – for the support of health services, the labor market, businesses, and the real economy.”
