Both the economic climate index and the short-term economic indicators record optimistic expectations for the continuation of the recovery of the Greek economy in the fourth quarter of the year.

In the development trajectory of the Greek economy for the coming years, the utilization of the resources of the Recovery Fund, the fiscal prospects for the restoration of the fiscal balance and the servicing of the debt and finally the prospects of a smooth transition after the end of the extraordinary market program continue to play an important role. government bonds due to the pandemic (PEPP) in March 2022 and the acquisition of an investment grade.

This perspective may create some short-term volatility, but we do not anticipate creating difficulties in the implementation of the new edition program of € 10-12 billion of ODDIH for 2022.
