During a panel at the Delphi Economic Forum on Saturday, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis discussed the economic impacts of the war in Ukraine on both Greece and Europe as a whole.
Mathias Cormann, Secretary-General of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), was also featured in the discussion, which was moderated by Florian Eder, a journalist for Politco.
When asked about Greece’s current economic standing in the wake of the war in Ukraine, Mitsotakis stated that the country was optimistic about its economic development in the wake of the pandemic, but that the war in Ukraine has dampened efforts to bring about a full economic recovery.
Despite this fact, however, the country’s economy is improving, Mitsotakis stressed.

“Nobody thought that we would be faced with a situation where we would have a war on the European continent and it is very clear that the Russian invasion of Ukraine will have significant economic ramifications for the global economy, we’re not just talking about Europe,” Mitsotakis stated.
