Greece is ranked ninth in the “Resilience of Governance
category with a score of 7.56 out of 10, and eighth in “Resilience of the Republic” with a score of 8.5 out of 10. The study noted that Greece excelled in governance during the pandemic, ranking it second in policy-making for its “evidence-based and expert advice of policy-making.”
