"Today I want to share some encouraging news that's come from Eurostat, according to which the Greek economy grew at the second-highest rate in the European Union during the second quarter of 2024, relative to the first quarter," Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis commented in a social media post on Friday. He was commenting on figures released by Eurostat concerning the growth of Greece's GDP.

"In order for growth to have meaning, however, it must translate into even more and better-paid jobs, an increase of the available income and a reduction of inequality. More in my speech tomorrow at the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF)," the premier added.
