The Greek economy’s growth rate reached 16.2% in the second quarter of 2021 and a forecast of 5.9% for the entire year may not be high enough, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in an interview to Bloomberg from New York, where he is attending the 76th UN General Assembly meeting, ANA reports.
Mitsotakis said that foreign investment interest remained high also.
Mitsotakis noted that in 2021 Greece had a very good tourist season, with better than expected results, something which was aided by an EU vaccination certificate facilitating travel between countries. He also foresaw that 2022 would be a very good year for Greek tourism.
