Ad. Georgiadis: In 2022, investments in Greece will exceed those of the last 27 years

In 2022, investments in Greece will exceed those of the last 27 years, said the Minister of Development and Investment ‘Adonis Georgiadis on the radio station Parapolitika 90.1 and added that 2022 enters with the best omens for the economy.

More specifically, when asked about the absorption of the NSRF, the minister said: “Yesterday was a surprisingly good day for the Greek economy. We had the announcements of ELSTAT where we had a growth of 9.3% in the nine months. We will see where we will year we say 7.1 but I have to tell you that in order to go to 7.1 the third quarter has to be catastrophic which is not logical so we will do better. Fixed capital investments have made an unprecedented jump of 18.1% and are a component of great growth and in absolute numbers the amount of investment in 2021 and despite the pandemic has surpassed all the years of the last decade. in 2022 and all the plans we have approved and the agreements we have concluded I tell you that in 2022 the investments in Greece will exceed the level of the last 27 years. Understand that investments in Greece have really taken off, that the work done by the government as a whole is paying off, that in all quality indicators the Greek economy is breaking one record after another. For example, our exports, which record the highest record in all nine months, the industrial activity index itself, the increase in deposits exceeding 42 billion euros, the increase in corporate deposits exceeding 30 billion euros, which means an unprecedented liquidity for the economy. I think that 2022 comes with the best economic omens and for our ministry in particular one of its responsibilities is the NSRF. When we came to the Ministry of Development and Investment, Greece was in 19th place among the 27 EU countries and then my commissioner had pointed out the risk of losing European funds at the end of the period. Yesterday, for the first time in our history, Greece took first place. We are the first country in the EU to absorb European funds. This did not come by chance, it is a product of teamwork, we have built a very tight team and what should be noted is that not only have they surpassed all records in the absorption of the NSRF but We have managed to surpass for the second year in a row all the records in the execution of the public investment program. “Both 2021 and 2022 will be the two years with the highest performance in the execution of the public investment program”.

Regarding the diffusion of growth in the society, the minister noted that: “Obviously this growth has reached the whole society. First of all, the polls that reflect the absolute political domination of the government would not exist if the people were suffering. people who suffer this same people to say in all the polls that they have confidence in the government. ‘If the world was going bad it would be a second party in the polls. consumption which was 7.7%, very high compared to last year. Does the one who does not have it spend or does the one who has it spend? ‘So let’s stop the constant regret “.

For this year’s holidays, Mr. Georgiadis underlined that “this year will be different from last year. This year the stores will be open, they will not be click away. The people with the sanitary pass and the measures, we are not in our old life yet at 100% but we have taken a big step towards it, he will be able to do his shopping, do his holidays, see his relatives and the more we are vaccinated the more we will leave all this nightmare behind us “.

Elections in KINAL

Regarding the elections in KINAL, the minister said: “As long as the process remains open, I do not make the slightest comment. I am the vice-president of ND, it is completely politically inelegant for me to have an opinion on the elections in KINAL. SYRIZA as a major, but the polls, apart from the fact that it is not as he says because anyone who knows how to read the polls knows that the polls said that we do not know exactly will happen, but a poll by a company had predicted the result. which had been published by N. Androulakis 32.4, G. Papandreou 29.2 and A. Loverdos 17.4. SYRIZA had accused me of daring to entrust this company with a poll by the Ministry of Development and I had said “but it is a very reliable company”. Just because it has been examined the”.

Finally, regarding the measures, he noted that the measures taken have paid off. “..Here we are, I think we are on the right track, yesterday we saw the cases are significantly reduced so the downward trend is a given and as the days go by with the increased vaccinations this picture will be strengthened” said the minister.
