Greek Finance Minister Christos Staikouras on Tuesday welcomed the second disbursement of funds to Greece through the SURE program, noting that this came just 10 months after the Eurogroup’s decision to create a “safety net” for workers and nine months after it was established by the European Council, ANA reports.
Staikouras was commenting on the disbursement of 728 million euros to Greece on Tuesday, which concludes the disbursement of a total of 2.7 billion euros approved for Greece in total in order to finance activities to support employment. The government has also applied to the European Commission for the disbursement of additional funds that are unused on a European level from the SURE program.
