The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday revised upwards its forecast for the Greek economy this year to 2.6% from its autumn forecast of 1.8% in October 2022, and said the Greek economy was expected to grow by 1.5% in 2024 from 1.4%, ANA reports.
The IMF, in its spring World Economic Outlook report, noted this revised growth forecast will allow the continuation of falling unemployment to 11.2% this year and to 10.4% in 2024 from 12.2% in 2022. The inflation rate is projected to fall significantly to 4.0% this year and to 2.9% in 2024 from 9.3% on average in 2022. The country’s current account deficit is expected to fall to 8% of GDP this year, from 9.7% in 2022, and to 6% of GDP in 2024.
