The foreign trade sector is proving resilient and supporting the Greek economy, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Wednesday in his address to the conference of the Panhellenic Exporters Association, describing this development as a “small feat”, ANA reports.
As Mitsotakis noted, his goal is the “Greece that produces, Greece that exports” and he estimated that despite the difficulties of the pandemic, foreign trade can again become the vehicle for the country’s return to development. He noted that “our exports are proving resilient: In the first nine months of 2020, they reached 17.5 billion, exceeding by 253 million the corresponding performance of 2019.”
Mitsotakis said that exports also proved to be flexible, because losses – for example, in the petroleum sector – were immediately replaced by the significant increases in exports of medicines, food, chemicals, and metallurgical products.
